Work Text:
It was supposed to be a quiet day in the library , where he and his friends just quietly did their homework or studies. However, any hope of a nice study session was dashed by a single query.
"Well, aren't you a little cutie? " The question was from Marshall, the unusually loud Hufflepuff.
Maponos looked up from his schoolwork to see who Marshall was addressing.
It was Menala.
She was standing near one of the bookcases, gently prying a book out of Cynder's hands. She had glanced up at Marshall as he approached. "Uh...I've been told that, I suppose." She replied quietly.
Maponos was already out of his seat, moving toward them. "Marshall can you not flirt with my sister?" He hissed.
Marshall glanced over at Maponos. "Al'rite, mate."
Maponos nodded in satisfaction and turned to go back to his work. Then stopped when he heard Marshall speak again.
"Oi Cynder, hot stuff , I ' ear you are a bit of a fighter, I am also a bit of a fighter."
Maponos whirled around. " What did I just say? Stop flirting with my sister."
Marshall's face scrunched up in confusion, pointing a finger a Menala's hair, then Cynder's, then Maponos. "Wot?"
"It's complicated, but leave Cynder and Menala out of your horny exploits."
Cynder glanced between Maponos and Marshall, putting a hand on her hip. "Listen, buddy, I have a boyfriend."
Marshall glanced around. "Well, I don't see 'em around."
Maponos saw Austen peeking around a bookcase nearby. Powehi stormed up to him. "What are you doing? Go."
Austen shook his head. "Have you seen that guy?"
Powehi slapped Austen's back. "Man the fuck up and go rescue your girl, stupid."
Cassie, sitting near Oz and Nick, looked pointedly at the pair. "You hear that, fellas? One of y'all needs to man the fuck up."
The comment made both boys turn a bright shade of red.
Fianna rounded an opposite bookcase, a finger to her lips. "Be quiet in the library." She shushed. She then looked over at Cassie. "Language, young lady."
Cassie stuck her tongue out in response.
Maponos sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Why is the library the place all of them want to fuck?"
Just then, Dusk entered the corner of the library where the excitement was happening. He had an arm around his girlfriend from Hufflepuff, Dawn. "Eh...I thought we'd get some peace and quiet but it seems there is a party here."
