The boy across from him seemed to light up a little at the mention of Hogsmeade. Sure they would be sneaking out through the forbidden forest, but being in cahoots with the Marauders ensured that he knew at least one secret passageway to the small town. They would use that on the way back. [b"Um sure?"

[/b] With that he was gone in a flash. Joram grinned and stepped into the shadows, disappearing and then ended up at the door to the Hufflepuff common room. It was a form of apparation, but it was undetectable by most, not entirely secretive but it would take a very powerful wizard or even another vampire to figure it out. As for Eddie or any other student it was as though nothing happened. If he stopped for too long he could be noticed, but while he moved he was pretty much untraceable.

Dropping off his guitar case, Joram switched out a few bottles in his satchel. Looking at the emptiness of the black bottle he placed it into his trunk, but replaced it with a bottle of whiskey. Since he finished off the wine today he wouldn't need it for the remainder of the night and he didn't want Eddie asking any more questions about it. Peaking out the small window that happened to be ground level, Joram's eyes lay across the small layer of snow and took in a breath. Perhaps he should grab a jacket? Nah, a sweatshirt would do fine. Pulling on a black hoodie with a white zipper up the front, Jor fixed his messenger bag back on his hip and left for the front doors.

Being a Mortelle, he didn't have to worry about money or buying anything. He probably would end up paying for the entire date. He knew it wasn't that, but Eddie had a peculiar sense about him and he would stop at nothing to bed the man or at least make him question his motives. With a laugh he stopped and stepped from the shadows. Sure Rodolphus had been avoiding him, but what was going to stop him from having enjoying the company of another warm body?

Violet eyes rest on the staircase Eddie was quickly descending and a smile parted his lips. Joram was no amateur when it came to bedding the opposite, or same-sex for that matter, and when he wanted something, he wanted it bad. Coming down from his cocaine high was not going to be pretty and he would need the alcohol to control the hallucinations. Already starting to feel a little on edge he waited for the boy to step closer and in one sweep he made a move.

Jorrie took a step closer to Eddie and let his finger tips brush the underside of his chin. Something he learned from Rodolphus just by observation, but Joram was certain his touch was much smoother and more gentle. "Let's go." His voice was a sigh as it left his lungs. Eyes bright with wonder and yearning Joram turned to lead Eddie through the forest toward Hogsmeade Village.

Eddie made it to his house tower in no time, and even found the daily riddle to be nothing of a challenge in slowing him down. He raced through the common room and to his room down the hall. Tossing his guitar into the guitar stand, and putting his frog away in it's terrarium, Eddie hurried to get ready and to be the first one down waiting at the door. He found his pouch of wizard coins in his trunk, and slipped them into his bag. After making sure he had pea coat, school scarf, gloves, and his favourite trilby hat, he was ready to head out into the cold. He stopped by the mirror, giving himself a wink and a laugh, and racing off for the door.

He raced through the school, skipping steps and sliding around corners, only tripping himself up once. He got to the top of the great staircase in the main hall, heart pounding, and noticed that the boy was already waiting for him! Damn it! He was sure he was gonna be the first one! oh well. He figured that said something about where the Hufflepuff dorm was and made a mental note for finding it in the future. Somewhere between the north hallway and the main entrance.

"You're awfully quick!" Eddie laughed, skipping down the stairs in his favourite fashion. It was something he had picked up from a Fred Astaire movie, a kind of grape-vine movement down the stairs. He had thought it had looked cool, and made sure to incorporate it most of the time when he was traveling down large flights of steps. He jumped the last two and smiled at the boy. He looked Joram over quickly, and then looked out to the glimpse of snow he could see beyond the large wooden front doors. He couldn't believe what the people round here would wear in the cold! None of them seemed to be affected by it like he was. Why, just today he had seen a boy around school in shorts! He knew not to mention it though. It just made him seem weirder and and further detached from everyone else.

Eddie went to take a step towards the door, but Joram stepped in front of him. Eddie froze as the boys gentle fingers trailed along under his own smooth chin. Coupled with a sign of breath and a strange, long look in the boy's eyes, Eddie began to feel strange. The attention he was getting from his new friend felt good, and he wanted more, but he had the strange feeling that it was all supposed to mean more. Certainly it could mean more if Eddie let it, but that could be a bad idea. So he bed the arise of those strange feeling back down with and awkward smirk, and dismissively told himself that 'maybe Joram was a into the foolish, meaningless flirting', just like he was.

"Let's get going!" Eddie laughed, and stepped lively after his new friend. He fought to find something to say to the boy, but after the brief contact they had had there, Eddie's mind had been strangely cleared in surprise. everything he had wanted to say at one point seemed lame now, and he couldn't come up with anything good to remark on. He eventually got his nerve back, and slipped back into the roll of his goofy self.

"This castle is ridiculous!" Eddie laughed, watching as his warm breath made faint wisps as it left his lips. It made him want a cigarette. "It's so huge, and ancient, I feel like a piece of history just being in this place! And the lake and the forest?" He shook his head, " Someone told me there are awesome ruins under the lake. Makes me think that this place was a whole fortress at one point. There's gotta be cool stuff in this forest too, right?" He looked at Joram hopefully. Going back to the little town of Hogsmeade was cool, but seeing old ruins in the creepy forest would be better!

Joram looked over his shoulder at Eddie as they started for the lawn. A smile that could kill was beaming from the young boy's lips. "Yes, it is very lovely isn't it?" Something in Jor set off and the urge to feel even more irresistible was peaking. Normally only with Rodolphus, but being away made it all the more agonizing. "Anyway, we should head through the woods before it gets to dark." Grabbing Eddie's hand, Jorrie made way through the thickets and soon the pair were engulfed by the woods.

Delicate didn't even come close to describing how his hands felt against Eddie's skin. The rough fingers of the Ravenclaw sent chills through his very core. Joram healed fast so there were no callouses from the constant playing. Instead his own fingers were smooth and could register every little bump in Eddie's palm. "Stay close it only gets more dangerous the deeper we go." His voice was like smooth caramel oozing over fresh icecream. Jor did all he could not to press the boy's body against anything too solid and the knowledge that Eddie wasn't entirely straight made all the more unbearable. Licking his lips as he pushed a few branches aside the pair made it to a well worn path. The only reason Joram knew that it was here was because he made it, this was a path for a drug trade, the constant in and out of Hogwarts made it easier for him to walk this path, but now that Eddie has been on it once he would have to change it.

Darkness started to shroud them and soon he felt the barrier disappear over them and once far enough away the path ended. "Hold on tight we're about to do something very illegal." Grabbing a hold of Eddie he used his form of apparation sticking to the shadows. Once they stopped he let the boy touch the ground. "How are you feeling? A little woozy? By any rate we're here, got a couple hours before sun down and three or four before sun down. What would you like to do first?"

Something about the boy was extremely attractive to Eddie, which was strange because normally he prided himself for his total lack of lust and desire for other people. He guessed that sometimes it couldn't be helped. And in Joram's case, he had music on his side. Eddie always found people who could understand and play music to be more attractive than others. Forget French, music was his language of love.... course it could also just be all the dark makeup around the boy's eyes. He liked that rock and roll look.

Joram took up Eddie's hand in his and started pulling him along through the forest. Eddie's thoughts automatically jumped from his friend to the scenery as he wondered about the dark and 'forbidden' place. Why was it supposedly so dangerous here? Werewolves? He had heard rumours about howling in the forest and teachers with too much hair... Crocotta? they were known to live in dark forests like this... but were they only in India... He'd have to research it, he decided, as he followed the boy happily through the grim forest. "I feel like Hansel and Gretal!" He said in a stupid tone, and never elaborated.

"Hold on tight we're about to do something very illegal."

"Huh?" Eddie blinked as he was dragged close against the boy. He wasn't sure what was happening, and as a result, hadn't held his breath. The world was pulled from him! His body stretch as his feet left the ground, then compressed as he fell back to the world. He staggered away from Joram, gasping for breath and after a few helpless twirls and kicks as he tried to keep his balance, Eddie to the ground, landing on his side. He stayed there for a moment, liking how the solid earth under his shoulder kept him grounded.

"What was that?!" Eddie asked wheezily as he lifted himself into a sitting position slowly, but he thought he knew once he saw the lights of the nearby down flickering just around the bend. "Did...did we just apparate?" He smiled up at Joram, and running his hand through his tight curls, laughed, "kick ass!" he righted himself, Having to grab Joram's shoulder for support, but was fine in a couple of seconds.

"Take me to all the hot spots!" Eddie grinned, taking a skip forward in excitement, "show me where all the cool kids go! Come on! I'm excited to get to know this place!"

Hogsmeade. It was a home away from home and he needed to be here anyway to meet up with a prospective distributor. "Yea, totally did, just don't tell anyone I don't want to get expelled for it, let alone expelled for taking you off campus while apparating." Truth was he didn't apparate, it was a special form of travel, he could have easily done it from inside the barriers of Hogwarts, but there was a greater chance they would have been noticed. The excitement of apparating was being replaced with the thrill of hogsmeade on a new soul. Joram really did like Eddie, he was a cool cat, but he was also easy to flirt with, and he was hungry for that attention. The attention that Rodolphus wasn't giving him.

Rubbing his nose slightly, Joram started to walk behind Eddie as he was thrilled about the sights and sounds. "Well, there's a candy shop over there, the Three Broomsticks is a cool joint to grab something to eat and drink, um, there is a wand shop too, it's a branch from Olivander's if you're in need of another one you don't need to go too far." Catching up to Eddie, Joram looked around. "Well? You hungry? I could go for a bowl of soup and a couple butterbeers, that is if you're up for it. Also, don't worry about getting caught, most of the people here know who I am and I frequent. I'll just have the be sure and get you to the castle in time, or you're going to have to crash in my dorm room for the night. No biggie."

Pulling the boy toward the pub, the bells rang and Joram waved to a few older people, that was before his eyes rest on a huge mop of hair that was slowly turning toward the two. Muttering under his breath Joram looked down, "I can never escape him can I." Perhaps this would be good, perhaps with Vincent here they wouldn't get in trouble, and surely Joram wouldn't have to spend his own coin. "Er."

The door chimed and in a few moments Vincent lifted his nose to the air turned his head to see who it was. Scents that filled his nose were full of greenery and vineyardy smell, with a little bit of alcohol and sandalwood. His son smelt like home and that warmed his heart. "Hey guys! Whatcha doing all the way from the castle, come come have a seat I was just about to order me a huge slab of meat, you two can get whatever you want. So! Why you skipping out of the castle at this hour?" Waiting for the pair to sit down Vincent leaned on his hands, purple eyes sparkling with complete content. Joram looked like he scored and awesome friend if he was still hanging out with him.

"So we meet again Edwin Muler!" Trying to make certain that Eddie's scent was still the same as earlier. It was a dry smell, which led him to believe the boy was from the desert, and he smelt like cake, freshly baked goods and the like. He was very warm and Vincent approved of that. Joram needed a little bit of happy in his life and if Eddie could help him with that, the boy would be rolling in it in no time. "First time having dinner with a professor who isn't going to get you into trouble for sneaking off campus." Vince leaned forward and whispered. "Don't worry, when I was your age I used to do stuff ten times worse." Snorting a little he waved the barmaid over and told the boys to get whatever they want after a glass of red wine was placed in front of him followed by a bottle.

Lifting the crystal glass to his lips he smiled at the kids who sat across from him. Joram seemed to go a little distant and he didn't blame him, but after parents weekend Vincent was making a new approach on the whole, 'I'm actually a father' thing. Little did Joram know, the kid was his pride and joy and he would do anything for him. "Just so you know, I'm going to let this slide as a... more intricate tour of Hogsmeade, especially since you're new to the school Eddie, but if I catch either of you out here after hours again I won't go so easy on you."

"A wand shop? Cool!" Good to know that if he ever broke his wand or had it stolen or something, he could always get another pretty quickly. He really hoped that it would never come to that though. He was sure there wasn't another wand in the world that would put up with his bullshit. Good old Green Ashe and Unicorn hair. So forgiving. "And i could totally go for a butterbeer. I've heard that I have to try at least one before I head home to America. Are they actually made with butter?" He laughed and thought of a more pertinent question, "Are they actually alcoholic?"

The two boys pushed through the streets of the small town and into a quaint little pub type place and Eddie was excited to experience. " I love how old everything is here!" He said happily, crinkling his nose while the door closed behind them, "It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside."

"I can never escape him can I."

"Huh?" Eddie turned to look off around the bar, "Who are you talking about?" He asked, leaning in towards the boy and talking quietly. it really didn't take him too long to pick out the man with wild hair though. "Wow!" Eddie said, disbelieving, "Is he stalking us or something?"

"Hello Mr. Mortelle!" Eddie said politely, coming up to shake the man's hand, "Didn't expect to see you here! Shhhh." he winked and laughed. "Don't tell our teachers we're out this late." Eddie smiled, but looked to Joram for his thoughts on the situation. He didn't expect the boy to want to sit with his father after he had called him out earlier in the halls, but seeing as he did pull up a chair Eddie felt safe to follow suit. He sat down across from the man, and to Joram's left.

"First time having dinner with a professor who isn't going to get you into trouble for sneaking off campus."

"First time sneaking off campus, sir." He confessed with a smile, crossing his arms and leaning them on the table "I've been a good little boy so far- I promise!" The waitress came over to the table and Eddie ordered with a smile, "I'll have a butterbeer and a turkey sandwich on rye, if you have it, please." He said sweetly, and turned back to the table. Eddie was a very good dinner guest, used to being very polite around a table setting, but both Joram and his father felt very informal, and the idea of having his first ever laid -back dinner was starting to make him excited. He licked his lips nervously and smiled.

"I promise to not make a habit of sneaking out like this." Eddie smiled, "I'll admit though, I didn't know what we were doing was against the rules, so thanks for warning us. My memory is pretty shit for rules. They usually have to be hammered into me a few times." He looked around at the neat little pub. It was actually his first time in a place that served alcohol, besides the officer's quarters. He liked how cozy it was, and his eyes were automatically drawn to the warm fireplace against the other wall. He took this moment to make himself comfortable, taking off his jacket and scarf and hanging them over his chair, and slipped his gloves into his pocket. He nearly forgot about his hat, and smiled with embarrassment as he took it off to put it under the table.

"So, Mr. Mortelle, Joram tells me you're a big music fan." Eddie started up the conversation at the table, "Do you two share similar tastes?"

Vincent noticed that his son fell quiet as the pair sat across from him. A smile cracked the older mans lips as Eddie piped up just a little, Eddie actually reminded him of how Joram used to act when he was younger, although Vincent had little to no interaction with his son prior to his acceptance at Hogwarts. Not that he remembered most of it, but there were bits and pieces and the attitude fit almost perfectly. It was no wonder why the pair had already started to form a bond, Eddie and Joram. Vincent listened to the Ravenclaw boy with interest. He as funny and all Vincent could do was shake his head.

"Well, this'll be the last time you sneak off campus." His eyes rest on Joram with the knowledge of how they got here undetected and so quickly. Strumming his fingers on the table he grinned and shook his head with how Eddie explained his memory. "Hey, when I was your age, my dad kicked my ass if I broke rules. Well it was more like my Uncle Lucien kicked my ass. Cleaning stables while hungover at six in the morning is not fun I tell you. Also, digging holes isn't fun either. The punishment they came up with was horrendous. All I'm asking is that you lot don't make a habit out of it. I'd hate to see you two suspended or expelled for doing stupid shit." Vincent was pretty chill when it came to sneaking about and around. If he did happen to catch them again it wouldn't be a big deal, he'd probably warn them again and cover for them.

That was his nature, he knew what it was like to be sixteen, but he also knew what it was like to be reckless. "Music! Oh god, I love music. We listen to most of the same stuff, sometimes he thinks I'm weird for it, but I really love the heavier stuff. Throw some Blue Oyster Cult, AC/DC, Krokus, Judas Priest or Black Sabbath at me and I'll be happy. Though I really do like Aerosmith and a lot of the other prog bands. I suppose you could say that I listen to everything. Hard rock is just my forte. If you're going to Italy I can introduce you to my music room." Vincent laughed quietly and looked across the table at Joram, just trying to read his face, but he was good at hiding things. It was amazing how much like his mother he was.
