Cameron picked up the lantern, slid the hood on it, and then stood and checked the mirror. Oh yes, he looked good as always. A smile, salute himself, then walked out of the dorm room, heading down the hall to the Slytherin common room. Stopping in the doorway to see who was there, he then crossed the room and headed up the stairway. He had a very important date to keep up now, another step in holding onto the girl's mind and making sure she wasn't going anywhere. Just before the door he stopped again, glancing in the full length mirror Slytherin had installed to make sure his students always showed their best face to the world. A rueful smile before he exited and headed across the dungeons to the stairs to the front of the school.

Light swinging in his grip, reached the doors and headed out, pausing in the sunlight for a moment with a smile. The grounds were covered with groups of students on this Sunday afternoon enjoying the last of the warm days. Cameron went past them around the side of the building towards the Greenhouses a nearly perfect place to avoid all but the most stringent Hufflepuffs in beautiful weather. As he approached the first he saw the hair and grinned; this girl was yet still developing, but if he could hold onto her he might manage to convince her of how much she wanted to free him from his hidden cage. And with those genes, he'd have some very nice future kids too.

As he came up to her, he held out an arm, catching her around the waist and pulling her close, intercepting her lips with his to kiss her long, hard, and passionately. And when he released her lips, he didn't pull back, looking down into her eyes with a twinkle in his eye. "Ready for an adventure, my dearest Ally? I hope you are for I have quite a surprise for you today when it comes to hideaways. I bet most of the graduates of this school will never learn what I am about to show you today." He turned her around like a pivot by walking around her before pointing towards an area past the greenhouse. "And it involves one of the more curious features of the school over that way. Any guesses?"

A grin as he started her walking around the buildings knowing there were few things over that way for her to guess about. "Have you not wondered before why such a dangerous thing would be kept around students to injure and threaten them? What were those older Headmasters thinking when they bought it to this place? I really wondered for awhile before I found a reference to it in the Library once."

ALLEANA LEI MOON

Ally had, in point of fact, put more effort into her look tonight than she would ever admit to. It was the first time she’d been really alone with Cameron since the morning of their bet a couple of days prior. His being a year older and a Slytherin meant she didn’t see him in class. She was also, admittedly pushing her luck. Maybe she owed the rush she got from sneaking around to the Slytherin half of her lineage, but then again, Gryffindors weren’t known to be totally straight-laced either. Cameron Clarke had caught her interest in a way no other boy had before. He was anything, everything...except boring. The way he looked at her had a way of pulling her in, even when they crossed paths in the hallways. He had been on her mind what could be considered an embarrassing amount since he had given her a rather thorough tour of the dungeons. That is, if Ally was capable of being embarrassed. He had the upper hand at the moment, she knew. His sheer prowess had caught her unaware and off-guard. It wasn’t a sensation Alleana Moon had ever gotten used to. [/span]

It was part of the reason when he’d offered to show her the rest of the school’s secret passages, she had jumped at the chance. It would be handy to know, she reasoned, and it would give her a chance to catch him off guard for a change. Her eyes found the mirror, and she smirked, pleased. She had never had the issues with Slytherin colors some of her dorm mates seemed to possess. There were more Slytherins in her family than Gryffindors after all, and she looked good in green. Smoothing the dress, she left the dorm on her way to meet him. The common room was nearly empty, save for a girl in the year below Ally’s and a boy in the year above. She noticed out of the corner of her eye that the boy had stopped to stare as she walked by. The girl, noticing this, had slapped him on the shoulder, and was glaring daggers Ally’s way. She grinned to herself and turned to blow him a kiss a moment before she stepped out and into the hall.

As it turned out, she reached the Greenhouses before him, but that was fine. It gave her time to catch her breath and get her head straight before he got there. When he did, she tilted her head and smirked. “You’re late” she accused, but the tone and expression were such that it was more a flirtation than anything else.When he caught her around the waist, she nearly laughed, but then his lips were on hers and she lost her breath to him, gave it up willingly in trade for this feeling of being absolutely overwhelmed by him for a few moments. He did things the way she liked, full-on and passionately. “Okay, I guess you’re forgiven” she breathed, managing a hint of her usual teasing sarcasm much to her satisfaction. Her lips turned up at the word dearest, but in a way that told him she would have had something to say about it normally. “Always” She was pressed up against him, fingers spread on his chest and eyes dark with the residual desire his greeting had left. He spoke her language so well it was almost unnerving. “That’s quite a promise” she pointed out. “Are you sure you can deliver?” In actuality, she had no doubt he could, but she enjoyed challenging him.

As he turned them both, her eyes followed where he pointed. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise. Surely it couldn’t be... “The Whomping Willow?” said softly but with no hint of hesitation. If there was danger, so much the better, it only added to the rush. She had, once or twice, wondered why such a thing would be allowed on school grounds, but had never questioned it further than that. “You?” She arched a brow, “studying?” Not that he seemed stupid, but he didn’t seem at all like the studious type. She smirked, “what did you discover?”

As she stood there in a rather fetching dress which showed off her legs, Cameron found himself cheered at her reaction and anticipation of his arrival. Ignoring her 'you're late' he snogged her good, laying well his own type of magic before releasing her for a second. She gave him a look which pleased him even more as he didn't remove his hand and then he said "Thank you, I have much I want you to...experience still and it would be bad if you were mad at me." His eyes laughed as he spoke about what way they were heading. Feeling her fingers spread, he slid his down her thigh as he said lustfully "trust me, we have not even begun to reach the depths of that particular subject. I have every confidence you will find this one better then most of the ones we have to look at."

Her reaction to their destination got a chuckle out of him. "Best disguise I can think of for sure. Who would experiment with that one? Not many I would think cause it can deliver some nasty blows." As the tree came into direct sight he nodded with a look which said she could keep that secret to herself. "I keep pains to keep anyone from knowing when I actually do, but I do on those things I want to learn about. Not every subject deserves such" he squeezed her hand gently that he had slipped his down into "extensive attention, of course." He doubted she would miss his intent on that thought!

Pulling out his wand he conjured a stick and as it fell to the ground, caught it with a whispered spell causing it to hover in the air. "Now the trick took me awhile to find and it's not written down more like hinted at. From what I could find they did it for a particular past student who was a danger to others sometimes. Don't know what, but they used this particular place to keep him or her contained during those times. The tree was planted to keep others out. Get ready to run, this requires speed..." The tree was awaiting their move, limbs deceptively still. Suddenly, Cameron whipped his arm forward and the stick dodged between two limbs, darting down to strike near the roots and almost instantly the tree stopped moving. "Now! Run!"

Still holding her hand Cameron ran across the space right under it's shaking, quivering limbs and pushed her towards the small hidden tunnel at it's base saying "Dodge inside! Quick!" As she went for the entrance (which you really couldn't see till you were right up near it, Cameron darted to his stick and placed a hand on it, watching till he saw her going inside. Immediately he yanked it out as he darted for the tunnel, darting his head to half-slide inside! Putting the stick down, he grinned at her, the cloud of dirt settling around them as he caught her hand up and said "Lumos..." Motioning for her to go first he added "Ladies first, of course in more then just one way..."

This was undoubtedly how every woman since the beginning of time ought to have been greeted by a man. Granted, it would have been considered vastly inappropriate at some points in history. Ally smirked to herself, grateful she’d been born in a century where her proclivity for the physical sensations of the world wouldn’t see her burned at the stake, though the fact that she was indeed actually a witch might have done so more quickly if one could trust the texts in muggle studies. She tilted her head, offering him a half-smile as part of her greatly amused expression. “Me? Mad?” She raised her chin in a flippant gesture. “Of course not, never.” After all, to be mad, she would have to care, and this was just a bit of fun she reminded herself. Something to take the edge off the dull monotony of academia. She ran her fingertips down the length of his upper arm and arched a brow as an ‘oh really?’ expression crossed her face. “You sound awfully sure of that” she agreed. “I would almost place a wager on it, if I were the type of course.” Which she absolutely was, it made things more interesting.

Glancing in the direction of the tree with more curiosity than fear, she sized up her competition before she turned her gaze back to him. “Must be quite the secret passage then” she observed, quietly figuring on how to dodge those nasty blows. What could everyone have been so determined to hide that they’d have placed a tree like that as guard? She might have to write home and ask her dad. He’d done his fair share of exploring the Hogwarts grounds after all. Though, to be fair, she wasn’t terribly keen on including Cameron in that letter, or at least not the details of their… rendezvous. She laughed softly. “My lips are sealed” she promised, eyes glinting with mischief as she did so.When he squeezed her hand a moment later, she rolled her eyes, still smiling at him. “Some subjects require more thorough exploration than others to understand after all.” Her accompanying look was cheeky. “Not all books are easily understood at first glance you know.” She thought it a fairly clever analogy personally, one her mother might have been proud of...if one ignored she’d used it as an innuendo.

He spoke again, and rather than answer, the two of them took off at a spring across the grass. Heart racing, adrenaline pumping into her system with every breath she took, Ally felt as alive as ever, able to feel the rush even in her fingertips. This was what she wanted, what she lived for. She ducked and dove for the suddenly visible entrance at the base of the tree. The cloud of dust that surrounded them both as he slid in behind her made her laugh even as she caught her breath. “That...was…” His wand lit up the space between them and she closed it, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him soundly "That about covers it." She grinnined when he spoke. “Of course” she winked as she headed down the tunnel, not the least concerned with what might be waiting for them on the other end. Without realizing it, she had begun to trust him not to lead her into anything she couldn’t handle...not that Ally Moon would ever have admitted there was anything she couldn’t. She turned her head back to look at him. “So where does this lead to exactly?”

"Good, I wouldn't expect less." She waved a wager in his face and he grinned; that was what had brought her into his bed to begin with, did she really feel tempted to try for more excuse? And he would have to put up something as tempting for her as well which caused him to hesitate briefly in thought. He was thinking of extending their agreement for longer time of course because he knew the longer he could keep her personally distracted the better his chances of making it more permanent. "Hmm, what sort of wager I would hazard? For it to be a real one it would need to be pretty tempting I would think..." His hand down her thigh underlined the scenario and what sort of enjoyment she could get out of certain prizes she might offer of course.

A nod, very confident. "While I have not discovered why it was made, it certainly is one of the more significant secrets here. Others might let us find some useful ways around the school, but this one surely had been made for something very special and secret." Her words just tempted him more as she well knew for a clever mind in a girl was exactly what Cameron wanted to capture for a more permanent time. Not that she realized she was in that sort of danger which was the point. Cameron had enough experience to know how to do what he wanted and she had little skilled experience in avoiding the lures he used. And that was proved in the kiss she gave him in the tunnel though his return kiss was as fierce and his grin as bright!

Merlin she was fun. And tasty!

Cameron saw her face curious as she looked back at him and he waved a finger back and forth. "Come now, Ally, do you want me to give away the secret already? The end is part of one of the best kept secrets you could hope for here, I should at least give you a chance to discover it for yourself now shouldn't I? Would be cruel to ruin what I've built up this all for anyway..." He chuckled behind her, letting her continue down the earth tunnel which was, he had been surprised to find out, a lengthy one. But for it to go all the way to Hogsmeade it had to be didn't it? Eventually she came to the end after a long time with him still confidently right behind her urging her on.

As they came out in the main space, he waited her guess, watching as she looked around. He wondered if she would notice as he had that although there were doors and windows on the outside, there was nothing on the inside so it had been built not to let someone get out, but to hold someone or something in?
