Date/Time: "LGBtH", Wednesday, November 11th, 1981; way late at night Location: The Astronomy Tower Open to: Savannah, Li.... and maybe Remus. Currently involving: Savannah, Li
"Quit complaining, Li," Savannah said, still staring blankly at her paper as she had been doing since they arrived there. "Its not that cold, and besides. You are supposed to be helping me." Truth be told, it was rather chilly, but she didn't care. She needed to finish this homework, otherwise her grade was going to go down further than it already was. Savannah was beginning to understand where the stereotype of Hufflepuffs being stupid came from.
"Come over here and show me what I'm supposed to be looking at. This looks like just a rather large blur to me."
"It is too that cold," he said, hopping down from where he was sitting and walking over to her. "If I'm sick when I wake up tomorrow I'm going to..."
Li paused, half because there was nothing to threaten with because this was all his own fault anyway, and half because he was distracted by the diagram on her paper. It really did look like a rather large blur, didn't it? He pointed at a seemingly random spot on the page. "I think that this bunch of dots over here is supposed to be Ursa Minor, so that's the North Star there. Which is, I think, over there-ish in the sky." He pointed at a location that could definitely be described as 'over there-ish' and contained something that looked like the picture.
"Anyway, I'm going to whine." He rested his chin on Savannah's shoulder as he changed the subject wildly and without really realizing it. "And then I'm going to sneeze on you. By the way, you spelled 'Cassiopaea' wrong."
"Oh? I did?" Savannah said, now looking down at her paper. "You sure? How do you- oh wait, nevermind." Having actually found a place on her paper where it was spelled correctly, she went back to comparing her diagram to the over there-ish spot in he sky Li had pointed out to her.
Involuntarilly, the blonde's entire body shivered. She groaned. Not only did she hate losing arguments, but she especially hated losing them because of something she did.
Li laughed and took off his robe, draping it over Savannah's shoulders. That would be the chivalrous thing to do, after all, and he supposed that he could live without it since according to her it wasn't too terribly cold out... Well, bugger! It really is bloody cold! What an inconvenient time to be right! So, there he stood behind her, arms folded across his chest and trying to look as non-cold as possible. It wasn't often that he won an argument with Savannah, and it was really too bad that he couldn't enjoy it this time.
"You should really have come more prepared, you know," he remarked somewhat snarkily as he again peered over her shoulder. "I'll have you know right now that you are not borrowing my scarf." The green and grey striped scarf was still wrapped around his neck, doing very little good. Oh, well. It might be cold, but at least it wasn't raining or anything. Or dark - the full moon shone brightly in the clear sky. Li looked up at it and was suddenly reminded that there had been some reason other than the cold for why he
( ... )
Savannah could feel her face blush a bit as Li gave her his robe. 'Thank GOD it is dark.' she thought as she tried to shove the blush off her face. Unsuccessfully, of course. She did feel bad for it though; Li had been the one who was complaining about the cold. However, Savannah was not about to give up a perfectly good chance to be cuddled up warm inside Li's robe. The girl was not that stubborn.
"Oh, like I'd ever want to wear your scarf." Savannah replied sarcastically. "Green is such an unfashionable colour wouldn't you say?" She reluctantly went back to her work for a few minutes before suddenly looking up. A wolf had just let out a rather frightening howl in the distance, and the sudden noise took Savannah by surprise.
Li paused abruptly in his work as his heart felt like it was sinking deep into his stomach. "Werewolves." He could barely manage more than a whisper. So, that was the other reason he hadn't wanted to be outside tonight! Too bad he couldn't remember it until now. His fingers lost their grip on his pen, sending it clattering to the floor, as he brought that hand up and began chewing on his nails. He shivered, and again looked over Savannah's shoulder to see if she was almost done so that they could go inside soon. He hoped that he didn't look too obviously frightened.
