Beautiful Distraction (Savannah)

[Syrus Helling]

It was shortly after dusk, dinner had already been served and classes were over for the day. Syrus sat in a quiet, out of the way corner of the common room in what could be referred to as a ‘love seat’, a small couch suitable for two, only he was the only occupant at the moment he rather planned to keep it that way. He was stretched out on it, his feet propped up on one end and his back against the other. He was reading, his usual pastime, though for once it wasn’t a school text but a work of fiction for a more leisurely read. A Clash of Kings, it was called. He had picked it up at a muggle bookstore before returning to Hogwarts after finishing the first book, A Game of Thrones, along with two other sequels. He hadn’t been able to find the fifth book, which was disappointing.

He wasn’t exactly certain when he’d next have a chance to visit a muggle bookstore in search of it, unless he decided to go ‘home’ for the holidays which was about as appealing as being mauled by a lion… actually it wasn’t far from the truth of it; Gryffindor’s symbol was a lion, after all, and his father had been a Gryffindor…. He wasn’t sure whether the thought amused or disgusted him more. With a brief shake of his head he returned to his reading. Lions… lions played a part in his book as well, the symbol of the Lannister House, and he liked them no better than his family or the rest of Gryffindor house. Come to think of it, the Lannisters and the Gryffindors shared the same colors as well as the same symbol, red and gold. Well, wasn’t that interesting…?

He felt slightly sick at the similarity and was beginning to dislike both houses, real and fictional, even more. With a long sigh he rested the open book over his eyes, his head tilted back slightly, trying to get the most unpleasant thoughts from his head. Why did he dwell on such things so often these days? He could really use a good distraction… a real good distraction. He hoped this new similarity would not ruin this book series for him, he had rather enjoyed reading it before he had started over thinking things. Now…. He sighed once more, eyes closed, wondering whether or not he should just return to his school texts and leave A Clash of Kings alone for now, until he’d sufficiently distracted himself.

[Savannah Moriatti]

The Slytherin common room. A place Savannah enjoyed being very much. It was one of her favourite places in the school. Savannah had just got back from dinner and was now about to relax in the common. When she walked in she looked around to see if she could see any of her friends hanging out in here. But they weren't Maybe they had detention or had sneaked off school grounds or something. Whatever, Savannah was tired and couldn't be bothered to get up to mischief at the moment. As she walked further into the common room she saw Syrus. The two had never offically met or spoken, but they were in the same house and in a fair few lessons together so she knew what his name was and that was about it. Savannah sat on the couch, crossing one leg over the other. "Hey Syrus." Said Savannah softly, looking into the fire place.

Savannah wore her Slytherin uniform. She actually quite liked the Slytherin uniform, but she would soon change out of it. She felt much much happier in her own clothing which was usually seductive and revealing. Much like her personality. Savannah looked back over to Syrus and smiled. She loved how blue his eyes were. They were like diamonds. She actually kind of envied him in that sense. She just thought of her eyes as brown. Simle and boring. Atleast she had the body to make up for it. "You been here long?" She asked trying to make a conversation between the to. Over the past few months of being here, Savannah had noticed that Syrus liked to keep himself to himself. She hardly saw him hanging out with anyone and she had heard him snap at a few people before. Mostly first year Gryffindors. Which was not surprising Gryffindors were annoying do gooders. Savannah couldn't stand them.

“Hey Syrus.”

He closed his eyes tighter for a moment as the usual debate played through his mind. Ignore and see if they leave or actually respond and encourage further interaction? Well, the voice was clearly female, so perhaps it would be worth it to actually be sociable for once. Not like he had anything better to do anyway… maybe she could help him distract himself.

“Hello…,” he trailed off as he lifted the book off his face and looked over to see if he could put a name to the face. He’d seen her around; they were in the same year after all. He recalled her name, somehow, “…Savannah.” He sat up, marking the place of his book and setting it aside. His gaze settled on her as he sat back, crossing his legs and making himself comfortable again.

He was surprised he’d never approached her before; she wasn’t at all bad looking, quite the opposite actually. He wondered what sort of girl she was, hopefully not the annoying sort. She actually seemed to have some promise so far, since she hadn’t come up to him babbling about something stupid. “Oh, I’ve been here long enough that I’ve grown bored. It’s really a good thing you’ve come along; I’m in some great need of a good distraction.” His arm stretched across the back of the couch and he leaned ever so slightly toward her, “How is it we’ve never been properly introduced, I wonder?”

[Savannah Moriatti]

Savannah raised a eyebrow slightly as she waited for Syrus to say something. For a moment he seemed to ignore her, like as if he was hoping that someone would not talk to him or anything. Savannah sighed a little and looked away from Syrus. If he didn't want to talk then fine. She could probably find something better to do. Maybe pick on a few first year Gryffindors. That was always fun. Savannah began twirling her hair around her index as she thought of all the different things she could do if Syrus was going to ignore her. However luckily he spoke. She smirked as it seemed to take him a while to remember her name. She was just glad that he did remember her name. Most typical teenage boys didn't pay attention to a girls names, they usually concentrated on what was going on in the chest or arse area.

Savannah smirked as he seemed to flirt with her, which of course she didn't mind. Savannah turned to face him more as she smiled at his question. "I'm not sure why we haven't been introduced. It is a shame though." Said Savannah smirking again, she leaned a little more towards Syrus. The rumors she had heard about Syrus were a little hard to believe, but she hoped they were true. She liked boys who were different. Again she smirked and pushed her long brown hair back over her shoulders. "A good distraction? I can do that. Although it depends on the person." Said Savannah crossing her legs, her skirt of her uniform rising up a little more.
