Nick let his head lazily rest against the tile of the huge pool which constituted of the prefect's bathtub. The soft hiss of the soaps running into the water was a welcome noise and he ignored the flirtatious comments of the Mermaid painting as he let his eyes close and the warmth relax his body. The bath was welcome after a very long day.
He hadn't had lunch because of all the NEWT work in classes and he had Quidditch practice, along with a prefects' meeting to attend to later and at the end of it all he had been too tired and antsy to go to bed without a bath. So here he was, in the peaceful calm as he hummed softly to himself, drowning in his own thoughts. He had been briefly tempted to 'innocently' ask Darla to join him but had finally decided against it.
He knew he wanted to be with her, he really did, but the only problem was that he didn't think he could allow himself to get so attached to her. Merlin forbid, what if he fell in love or something like that? How would he handle something like that? Which was why he was distancing himself from her, giving both of them some room to breathe so that they wouldn't fall so deep.
He shook his head, trying to get away from his thoughts. He'd come here to run from them and yet they still plagued his mind. There was a clink and he looked up, curious as to who would come here at this time of the night.
ooc - I can just imagine his awkwardness if a male character responds to this, so I prefer if it were a female (:

The girls’ bathroom was so overrated, it was disgusting and it always had a group of giggling Gryffindor’s in there. All she wanted was a bit of peace and quite for once and to enjoy her bathing experience and she certainly wasn’t going to do that here. She ran a hand through her platinum blonde hair and turned away from the bathroom and decided to go into the prefect’s bathroom, it was late and she knew most of the prefects would be either patrolling or in bed, none of them would be awake in the bath would they? Her orange towel lay across her arm as she made her way to the prefect’s bathroom and tied her hair up into a messy bun.
Before she went into the bathroom she looked around before she pushed the door open, just to make sure no one else was around. Victoria smirked before she walked into the prefect’s bathroom, only to see the head boy sat in the bath, and she couldn’t make a run for it because he was already looking at her. Luckily for her, Tori and Nick were friends and they were on the quidditch team together so hopefully he wouldn’t mind her breaking the rules.

He grinned at the sight of the Slytherin who was trying to be stealthy. Now as a good Head Boy, he should've sent her out for breaking the rules or deducted one or two house points but he let it slide. He was too lazy to go into bossy mode and give orders around. Besides, he knew Tori and didn't think she shouldn't be here otherwise, anyway. "Huh...look who's breaking the rules," he grinned, leaning against the tile and leaning forward.
"Care to join?" he asked, gesturing to the other end of the huge pool. A question like that would've seemed highly intimate and inappropriate since he already had a girlfriend but the tub was big enough and there were so many bubbles, it didn't make a difference. Besides, it wasn't like he was fully naked. Nobody could be in the prefects' bath since it had only one tub.
"What should we do with a rule breaker like you?" he asked, grinning cheekily, as he flicked a bubble in her direction. He was just teasing and from his voice it would be obvious to her too. "Detention? Or just a warning?" he loudly contemplated.

The older Slytherin didn’t seem that bothered that she was breaking the rules and she was looking at him while he was in the bath, which could be a little bit perverted. Tori wasn’t to sure on what to do and she shuffled uncomfortably where she was standing, maybe she should just leave and apologize for breaking the rules later, but what sort of Slytheirn would that make her? The blonde forced a smirk when he mentioned she was breaking the rules, “What Slytherin doesn’t break rules?” Quite a few broke the rules, but then again there were some pretty nice Slytherin’s, Scorpius Malfoy was nice to others as well as Natalie.
If she did join him, it wasn’t like she was doing anything wrong right? She wouldn’t be sat next to him, nor would anything happen, he was far too old for her and let’s just say Victoria Rookwood had standards, and she also had a crush on someone else that wasn’t him. She shrugged and dropped her skirt and took off her shirt showing the bikini she was wearing, not once had she ever bathed naked she always wore some sort of swimsuit to hide her dignity. Victoria slipped herself into the warm water at the other end of the bath and felt slightly uncomfortable. “Hope you don’t mind.” Tori tied up her blonde hair into a messy bun, so it wouldn’t get wet.
Nick was head boy and he could take points off Slytherin for her being in the prefect’s bathroom, but she was sure he wouldn’t. When he mentioned what he should do, she could tell by the tone in his voice that he was joking. “Rule breakers should be punished,” She smirked and bit down on her lower lip, “Just a warning, that would be nice.”

He smirked at her discomfort before conveniently looking away, leaving her alone with his thoughts. As much as he liked to make people squirm, she was his friend and he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable or awkward around him, especially when he wasn't. He shrugged, raising a brow. "I don't" he grinned, chuckling, "but I used to. A lot," he said, remembering how much trouble he and Stefan always got into, until he was made responsible and in charge of making sure stuff like that didn't happen.
"Wouldn't invite you if I did" he said, secretly glad that she was wearing a bikini and not choosing to go naked. He'd seen girls naked before but it would be too intimate a thing for him to do with Darla on his mind and he was no Dominique Weasley, to cheat on their lovers. "Long day?" he guessed. It was the only few reasons anybody opted for a warm bath instead of a quick shower and if they were here, they might as well talk.
"Yes, they should and you're very lucky it's me who was here and not somebody else" he said, a little serious because he didn't like it when his house was docked points. "Warning it is then" he winked, relaxing again, pushing himself deeper into the water.

There was a awkward silence coming from Victoria’s behalf, simply because if someone walked in and saw her in the prefect’s bath with Nick she’d have some explaining to do and she’d also get in trouble for actually breaking rules. Even though he wasn’t going to deduct points or give her a detention if another prefect walked in who wasn’t in her house, they’d most likely take a hand full of points away from Slytherin as well as give her a detention. When he commented on how he didn’t break rules she frowned slightly, “Maybe that’s because you have no rules, considering your head boy. You can go wherever you want, whenever you want and no one can tell you off,” And for Victoria, she had to sneak around an hope she didn’t get caught by a Gryffindor prefect.
Victoria had been single for a very long time, which was mostly because she had an older brother who hated it when a guy got involved in her life. It was sweet he was overprotective of her but she was getting to that age were it was beginning to annoy her and most people were in a relationship. His voice broke her trail of thought and she looked over at him, “Very long day.” She sighed slightly, it was a stressful sign and she couldn’t believe how much stress was bubbling away. What would be perfect if there was Quidditch practice, but there wasn’t any today, which was a shame.
“Yeah, I suppose I am lucky really. Anyone else would of giving me a warning and sent me on my way.” Victoria was grateful that it was Nick in here, she was able to have a bath and relax. If it was someone else they would of giving her a warning and she wouldn’t of been able to have a bath, but today was her lucky day, a bath and a warning.

Nick could see her hesitance and he understood, because in the previous years when he'd been prefect, anytime somebody had walked in on another prefect, there had been some harsh warnings and points deducted. And if anybody caught him letting a non-student council member coming in here, he'd be in trouble. It was odd for Nick to bend the rules, because since third year he'd wanted to be Quidditch Captain and even his father wanted that. So when he didn't get the badge, his father being his father had been rather upset and angry with him. So, the day he was made Head Boy, he took his job very seriously in terms of what to do and what not to. He didn't even let Darla skip her duties. But here he was, bending rules because he felt tired and lazy.
"True, but I don't always get to do whatever the hell I want. I'm still a student, you know," he teased, shaking his head. He raised a brow as he interrupted her flow of thoughts and she admitted to a long day. "I get that. Too bad we didn't have practice to let it all out. I swear, I want to kill the person who came up with the idea of NEWTS," he groaned. And love, I especially want to kill the one who came up with that,he mentally added to himself.
"I've heard better reasons for people to feel lucky when they walk in on me" he joked, letting a bit of his cockiness come along the way. At the end of the day, no matter how responsible and a student of high grades, he was still cocky, arrogant and party loving Nick.

Worse case scenario, another prefect walked in and saw Nicholas Avery and Victoria Rookwood in the large prefect bath together and word got around to Darla Selwyn, Nicholas and Darla were in a relationship and if she knew that she was sat in the bath with her beloved boyfriend she’d most likely get an earful from the older Ravenclaw, and last thing she wanted was to be shouted out for being in the prefects bathroom and being in the bath with her boyfriend. It was pretty good to have a friend who would allow you to break the rules and not grass you up, but then again they were on the Quidditch team together and did get along rather well on the pitch.
Victoria shrugged and looked around at the bubbled in the bath, “True but you could easily stay up past curfew and say you was on prefect duty or something.” She’d probably be a terrible prefect, she’d be up after hours and taking advantage of her prefect privileges but would you blame her? Talk turned to NEWTs and she chuckled slightly, “I feel the same way about OWLs, funnily enough. Practice would of helped me get all my stress out but unfortunately we didn’t have it tonight.” Victoria loved Quidditch practice, especially after a stressful day, it helped her get all her stress and aggression out rather than bottle it up and let it out on some poor Hufflepuff.
A small chuckle escaped from her lips and she shook her head, “Oh yeah, and what would those reasons be?” She questioned in a slightly flirty tone, it was all fun and games, it wasn’t like she was being serious or anything like that. Just some harmless fun, right?
