Late Night Snack--[Selene]

It was way to freaking early in the morning to even still be awake. Why had he waken up at such an ungodly hour anyway? Ugh. He couldn't remember but he couldn't just sit in the dorm while all the other guys slept. No he'd wind up getting bored since he couldn't fall back asleep for the love of him. Nothing else to do other than to whip out his wand and start reading.

That didn't seem to be entertaining enough for him though. No, sitting in the dorm while everyone else was sound asleep wasn't going to work for him. He ran a hand through his hair and yawned as he was quite tired. It kind of irritated him that he couldn't get back to sleep. He climbed out of bed despite it all and pulled on a white tank top so that he wouldn't be parading around half naked; not like it would have bothered him.

Blaine didn't bother to put on any shoes as he went to leave though because it wouldn't bother him. Bare feet was not a problem even if the floor was made of stone it. He walked out of the dorm room quite quickly as to not disturb his sleeping roommates. He was out of the common room almost as quickly and in the corridor of the basement of Hogwarts. The stone floor was terribly cold on the soles of his feet but it didn't receive a reaction from him at all.

He didn't wander around all too much because it was after hours even for the older students and he didn't want detention. He knew the people who had permanent residence there and he didn't quite feel like dealing with them. He could deal with one of them but both of them was just insufferable and he wanted to avoid that at all costs. The only place that was decently nearby was the kitchens and a late night snack actually did sound like a good idea. He just hoped he wouldn't end up trying to eat it with his face instead of his mouth.

The albino was that tired after all and he probably looked a bit like a zombie. Only a bit though because he didn't have the green skin or anything. He walked into the kitchen after tickling the pear on the portrait that hid it and sat in one of the chairs that was there. Not at the tables that transported the food to the Great Hall though because he didn't want that. He just wanted some cookies or something with a glass a milk; yeah that'd be nice.

"Cookies and a glass milk." Blaine said as he looked at a house elf that was still awake.

Selene couldn't sleep.

It always happened with the cycle of the moons, closer to the full moon, the more energy she had, when the New Moon rolled around she was dead tired and falling asleep as soon as classes ended and sleeping throughout the night.

Despite it being so early in the morning, Selene hasn't slept, she had taken to dancing around the common room, singing a song in her head. No one else would be up this early and it was fine as it was she rather loved dancing, listening to the music and letting her body match the rhythm it was doing. She loved it, but in her mind she wasn't good at it, despite dancing for a good six years, which is why she never told anyone about it.

Just like she told no one about her moon rituals, those were extremely private.

But of course, staying up like this and dancing, it worked up her appetite fast, especially with her constantly moving most nights. So it wasn't a surprise when her stomach rumbled over some time, making her stop and grasp her middle. With a sigh, she left her common room and headed down for the dungeons, for the Kitchen.

It was a long practiced action as she snuck down, her wishing that she was sorted into Hufflepuff just for the sake of it being easier to sneak to it. Making her way down to the portrait and tickling the pear before entering the Kitchen area.

And was surprised at a familiar albino sitting at one of the chairs. “Blaine?” She blurted out mostly by instincts at this point as her cheeks reddened in embarrassment from the lack of control. Ignoring the blush though she walked over to the chair and sat beside him, asking the House Elf for a greek styled dish before looking at her friend.

“You...are up early.”

The house elf that he had addressed seemed to be more than happy to fetch his request. He wasn't exactly a regular customer in the kitchens at this ungodly hour but he was still there from time to time. He usually got pretty good sleep though so again it was all too often. The house elf in question always seemed to be up at this time doing things around the kitchen and never protested when he asked for something.

Blaine just sat quietly in the chair as he looked around the kitchen lazily. He was still tired after all and he bored at that. It had been the sole reason of him even going into the kitchen in the first place. It gave him something to do besides sit in the dorm and listen to everyone snore up a storm. Good thing he was such a heavy sleeper when he was asleep; that shit was a annoyingly loud.

The albino sighed as he continued to wait and started to mess around with his tank top. He forgot that when he wore them people could still see his scars from his attack but he had to admit that it was better than no shirt. That would have been completely sporting them off for anyone else to see if they were up at this hour. He didn't so much like to explain to someone who'd never really seen them with some rotten excuse. He had grown accustomed to giving the same excuse and lying about it but with some people it unsettled him to lie to them.

He could have kept riddling on about random things in his mind for at least another good 5 minutes had he not heard the sound of the portrait swinging open. He lazily brought his over to where the portrait entrance to the kitchen was and stared at it for a few seconds or so. He was a complete zombie so it took him a while to register just who had walked in. It was probably one of his favorite blonds in the entire school but that's because he had t a thing for her; shush he wasn't trying to pursue her just yet.

A slight smile popped up on his face as she seemingly blurted out his name and her cheeks reddened. Hmmm. What's this? Selene was blushing but it seemed like she didn't know or she was ignoring it as she walked towards him then sat in the chair next to him. She asked the same house elf who was bringing him his cookies and milk for some Greek dish or something, he didn't know he's British, and looked at him afterwards stating that he was up early.

"Can't I say the same about you though, Selene? It is rather early in the morning." Blaine said as he picked up a cookie that was warm and took a bite of it, chewing then swallowing it as to no be rude. "I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. Trust me its not a choice to be up this ungodly early." He continued stating his reason for being up so early since she said something about it.

Selene huffed, early? For her? This was a leisure night is anything, she was brimming with energy and wanted nothing more then to continue moving, at least doing something to ware off this constant energy that was in her. But Blaine didn't know of her habits....at least she was sure that he had no idea, she hasn't exactly shared nor has she seen him when she was performing a ritual so...

So she really couldn't tell him that this sort of insomnia was more or less a normal night for her. Despite her large crush on the male, and by the Gods was it large, Papa said to keep the ritual to herself and she has for a good number of years now...she'd tell Blaine when she was ready and wasn't a complete and utter pervert, that would be a huge help. She knows that Blaine has caught her in her drained phase during the full moon....if she remembered correctly, he caught her before she fell face first into a potion.

Her cheeks were burning just from the memory.

Coughing into her hand she peered at Blaine and frowned, “Then why, for the love of Zeus, would you be eating cookies in the morning, right after you got up?” Those were not nutritious, nor would they help him get back to sleep, if anything the sugar would be keeping him UP. Unless he was studying he shouldn't be eating cookies of all things...

She nodded her head in thanks at the House Elf who placed a bowl of Kotosoupa-- a Greek-style chicken soup, before focusing on Blaine, “Those won't really help you sleep, maybe some turkey would help more? A full stomach to sleep on.” She remembered hearing her mom grumble about how Turkey made everyone fall asleep one time, perhaps there was something in them that caused this reaction? Despite being a Half-blood she didn't know EVERYTHING about the Muggle world...

Sighing she pushed her bowl towards him, “Here, at least have something healthy...” She grumbled, turning her head away from him so that he wouldn't see the blush spreading across her cheeks. Stupid body reacting to every little thing the albino did...

“Could I get another spoon, please?” She asked the House Elf who was eager enough to fetch the said utensil for her without much fuss. Smiling, she thanked the little creature before holding it out towards Blaine, “Here, I don't want you using my spoon.” She grimaced at thinking of having to share the same spoon with him, not because he used it, even though that was highly unhygienic, it was because she didn't want to taste the lingering chocolate with the nice warm broth of the soup.

Chocolate and Chicken? Yeah they won't mix with her in this lifetime...

When he heard her huff for saying she was also up early, he chuckled and returned back to the plate of cookies siting in front of him. The house elves always did make some pretty good cookies but they didn't compare to the ones he ate as he grew up. He gave them plenty of credit for them though since he would go to the kitchen for them a lot. Between the times that his mom sent his sisters and him some via owl. Fresh out of the oven cookies could only be found in the kitchen at Hogwarts until he returned home again.

Blaine broke a cookie in half after he had picked another one up and started to eat one of the halves. He had heard that Selene had some strange sleeping habits and he figured that was why she was up so early. She probably wasn't even tired and from the looks of it she didn't seem to be. He did remember one time during potions that she had almost face planted right into her potion but he had caught her before hand. It was a very odd sleeping habit after all.

He looked over at her when he heard her cough into her hand and chuckled as she scolded him. He had his own odd habits he guessed but a glass of milk by itself was not as good without cookies. He was actually trying to make it so he could go back to sleep and his mom used to give him cookies before he went to bed. Besides chocolate chip cookies no matter what time of day you ate them. The way she scolded him made it seem like she didn't eat enough cookies for her own good.

"Doesn't matter when you eat cookies. They are good any time of the day." Blaine said in response to her question about eating cookies after he had just woke up.

He went back to eating the other half of the cookie as she nodded at the house elf who had brought what she had asked for. He peered over at what the house elf had brought her and stared at it for a couple of seconds. He returned his eyes to the remaining cookies on his plate and listened as she told him that they wouldn't help him sleep. He chuckled as she suggested that he eat some turkey instead so that he could have a full stomach to sleep on. He didn't mind her giving him advice but he was pretty sure the cookies would do it.

"Nah. They will. I used to eat them before I went to bed as a kid." Blaine explained to her.

She didn't seem to be done though with the lecturing or the concern. He looked back at her when he heard her sigh and blinked when she pushed her bowl towards him. She told him to at least have something healthy and he let out yet another chuckled. She looked away as she said this so he didn't see the blush come upon her face but she asked the house elf for another spoon. Oh, so she was going to share her soup with him.

"Heh. That's cute, Selene." Blaine said in response to her concern about his health. "With all this concern you have, you'll make a good wife for some guy some day~" He said with a smile coming to his face as he teased her.

The house elf brought her another spoon and she smiled at it thanking it. She held it out to him and he took it with a grin coming about his face. That was indeed cute especially right down to them both using their own spoon. She had told him that she didn't want him using her spoon with a grimace coming upon her face but he just laughed it off. He took a drink of his milk after taking a bit of another cookie.

"I'm sure you are just not ready to share your saliva with me~" Blaine said as he dipped the spoon he had been given into the broth in a teasing tone and grinning before he put the spoon in his mouth.
