Liam smiled as he unlocked his hand from Anna's and caressed her cheek, leaning in close, "Passionately eh?" Closing his eyes, his lips parted slightly, he kissed Anna. His lips interlocking with her's, his tongue brushing against her's, as the fingers of the hand that caressed Anna's cheek slipped through her hair as he gently caressed the back of her head.

Shuddering at the pleasant sensations, Anna brought her other hand up to rest against his chest. The hand on the back of his neck creeps higher into his hair, grabbing a fistful of hair as she stands on tip toe to deepen the kiss.
Her tongue touching his, she suckles lightly on his tongue, her fingers drawing circles on his neck as she lingers the kiss as long as she can, breaking for a much needed breathe.

"Yeah..." she sighs, biting her lower lip and looking down for a moment to hide her entirely joyful facial expression, "just like that."

Liam tilted her face back towards his and kissed her once more before brushing her cheek with his fingers and gazing into her light brown eyes with his bright deep emerald eyes.

"Not too forward.. I hope.." he said as a blush crept into his cheeks.

Biting her lower lip again, it was impossible not to see the happy blush on her face or the twinkle in her eye. "Not at all. Just the right amount." Leaning back on her heels, she placed her hand on Liams', pushing his hand against her cheek and nuzzling into it. "Though I really should see if I can help out with Kalli..."

Brushing his thumb against her cheek, he sighed, "From what Saiyuri said, Kal's in pretty bad shape. She went to bed shortly after leaving the Great Hall. Sai sent Vanora to stay with her and keep an eye on her. I heard Saiyuri say that Kal's intention tomorrow morning is to break it off with Josh and tell him how happy she is about him finding someone more worthy of him than her. The poor girl is very insecure about herself.. we've never been able to help her over come it.."

Anna frowned worriedly at this, not in the slightest planning on giving up. "In that case, I need to find my way into Kalli's bedroom and straighten her out. We can't let that happen - it'd break Joshs' heart." She sighed almost blisfully at his touch, and the wrinkle in her forehead lessened a little because of it. "She'd better grow some more backbone, then."

She stated it so very surely, while in truth, Anna knew perfectly well how it felt to have such lowe self-esteem. It wouldn't do, though.

Liam shook his head, "There's no way a Gryffie can get into a Huffie Common Room, much less a Huffie Dormitory. In order to do it ya'd need to use the Polyjuice Potion, and that takes 3 months to prepare. As for the backbone, don't be so hard on her. Ye don't know what the girl has been through. It's hard for her to trust people when it comes to relationships.. especially in relationships.."

Liam sighed as he held Anna close, stroking her hair, his cheek resting on the crown of her head, "Just.. let it go for tonight. Maybe in the morning, she'll be a bit calmer and more apt to listen. But.. Josh doesn't want her knowing about the anniversary gift, so how do ye plan on talking to her without explaining the gift?"

Pouting lightly as her ideas got shot down, Anna's mind was still racing - despite Liams' words. "I have my ways, don't worry." She tilted her head lightly to place a kiss on his neck, enjoying the cuddling, even while they were still in the middle of the hallway.

"Also... I'm not judging her." Somehow it felt important that he knew that, that he thought well of her. "I mean... you're right, I don't know where she's coming from. But she's a nice girl. If I can help her by giving her more of a backbone, I will." Stepping back lightly, she looks up at him, wanting to make sure he saw the sincerity in her eyes. "I don't mean to be hard on her. She was nice to me. You all have been. It's the least I can do."

Liam sighed, a half smile creeping onto his face, "I know. Good luck," he added before gently placing a kiss on her forehead, "Don't get into too much trouble alright? And don't ferget 'bout detention in Snape's room, Sai and Drew will be waiting fer ye," Liam said with a light chuckle before sticking his hands into his pocket, walking past Anna, and continueing down the hall, heading towards the Ravenclaw Common Room.

Blinking somewhat dazedly - for she had COMPLETELY forgotten about detention - Anna watched him walk away for a while. "Oy!" She called after him, not even bothering to wait for him to turn around, and instead, hugging his back tightly. As she nuzzled between his shoulderblades, she muttered, "Talk to you tomorrow?"

For a moment she figured that showing up at detention wearing muggle clothes might not be such a bright idea. At the same time - she really didn't care.

Liam laughed as he looked over his shoulder, "O'course! Ye think I'd ignore ye?"

Smiling against his back, she laughed quietly, "I would've cursed you if you had!"

Turning around, Liam took her hands and gave them a gentle squeeze as he inquired, "Oh really? What curse did ye have in mind Ms. Van Orsenhoven?"

With the tip of her tongue between her teeth, she said, "Hmm, a sticky charm, I would say. I'm fairly good at those." She nods at his hand holding hers, and grinned lightly, "That would be hella interesting in the baths, though."

Liam laughed, "Sticky charm? How in the world does that charm work? And how on earth do ye know it yet I have never heard of it?"

Laughing quietly, she managed to look slightly guilty as she whispered, "Remember yesterday, when half of the seniors of Gryffindor were stuck to the bench?"

Liam stifled a few chuckles as he managed to inquire, a hint of admiration in his eyes, "You didn't.."

With a finger to her lips, she winks at him, "They were being elitist."

Liam chuckled, "Yes, but that's because they don't like younger Gryffies nor outsiders. Unless they come for the Triwizard Tournament that is, then they're all over them."

Smiling, he kissed the top of Anna's forehead, "At least ye stuck up fer yerself and made yer presence known, even if it was a bit dramatically," he added with a wink.

"Well," she giggled, tilting her head up to catch his lips with her own. "They still don't know I did it. But you didn't hear about todays' fiasco yet." Laughing quietly as she thought about what happened in her Herbology class, her thumb made small circles on his hand, gently caressing the skin. "In any case..." she sighed reluctantly, suddenly dreading the detention. "I should get going. Want to bump into me tomorrow after class in the library?" Her small smile was sweet and inviting.

Liam smiled as he caressed her cheek with his hand and kissed her, his lips embracing Anna's soft, moist lips lovingly, "Tell me about the fiasco tomorrow in the library. But after which class?"

Anna lingered into the kiss, leaning lightly against Liam for a moment. As he pulled back, she sighed contently, keeping her eyes closed. "The last one of the day?" Tilting her head lightly, she smiled warmly at him. "I think it'd be best if I don't spend too much time with you guys until this is resolved - especially not with Kalli. I don't want to hurt her any more."

Liam nodded, "Aye, that'd prob'ly be best. However," Liam added as his arms slipped around her waist and he held her close, "I'll miss ye sitting near me." Sighing he kissed Anna on the nape of her neck, before kissing her cheek, then her forehead, "You'd best be gettin' along to Potions, Snape'll be furious to find out ye were late for detention on account o' me."

His gentle kisses made her shudder happily, and as she lifted her arms to put them loosely around his neck, she found herself unwilling to let go. "True enough... and I actually have a reason not to want detention, now." Her smile was somewhat crooked as she looked up at him, an amused twinkle in her eye.

"You'd miss my company already, hm?" Laughter came through in Anna's voice as she leaned in to place a kiss at the base of his neck. "Who knew I was this easy to get used to!"

Liams right hand gently rubbed Anna's left arm before taking her hand and bringing it to his lips, placing a gentle kiss on it before smiling down at Anna, "I'll always miss yer company if ye're not with me."
