The Upside of Being Down

What happens when you put a hopelessly "romantic" man-whore and a girl with a soft spot for bedtime activities (not THOSE activities, silly!) together in a dark bedroom? Well, I don't happen to know either, so I suppose we'll find out together, won't we? Come with me, Tia C. Spencer, on a lovely ride through the countryside... er, lakeside... okay, so we won't actually be riding NEXT to anything, but it will be lovely, I promise you that. How can it not be, with me as your illustrious (and quite possibly mad) companion?

In which there is lots of lovely note-passing and broom-closet innuendoes.

In which Tia contemplates life as a pillow and the traditional Abusive Incident Involving the Giant Squid occurs.

In which there is a second nighttime visit and a shortage of socks.

Onto which Tia has placed a firm G-rating (possibly), and decides that Sirius needs to get out more.

In which Tia receives some bad news and is Distinctly Not Amused (tm.)

In which Tia is still unamused about just about everything and a certain Slimy Git gets his.

In which there are notes, notes galore! and Tia receives a gift of sorts, and acts, er... less than grateful.
