Bloody hell! Can't a man have a moment of privacy in this castle?
Well this is gonna be awkward 😅
Who are you and how did you get in here?
I specifically told him not to let anyone else in while I was in the shower! What a bloody incompetent fool he must be.
Or he let me in on purpose
pauses, thinking That's actually quite possible. The idiot probably wants to make me look like some sort of pervert. He knows my reputation...
Your not exactly famous for having sex with men~
Not like that's any of your business. Now get out of my room.
So ummm…did you want help?
No! Absolutely not! This is none of your concern! Just get out!
Are you sure? Because your about to finish yourself off…
stops abruptly, face turning red with embarrassment I...I...I said get out! Don't you dare come back in here!
quickly gets dressed and starts muttering to himself Goddamn it... How am I going to get back to my chambers without anyone seeing me like this?
Pauses, thinking it over Fine, but if you're going to cover for me, you better be ready for whatever consequences may come our way.
Alright then. If we're going to do this, we need to establish some ground rules. First of all, absolute discretion. This stays between us and no one else. Second, you do exactly as I say, no questions asked. And third, remember that I'm the one in charge here. Understood?
Good. Now, let's start by making sure this place looks as innocent as possible.
Okay what should we make it look like?
Study session, of course. Put away any evidence of... "private studies" and replace it with textbooks and notes.
Okay so moving some stuff around would probably work…
Good. While you're at it, make sure to tidy up a bit. I wouldn't want anyone suspecting anything fishy just because my room isn't up to par.
Excellent. Now, once we've cleaned up this mess, we need to come up with an alibi for why we were in my room together. What were we doing, exactly?
Study is a good start, but we need something more specific. Let's say... reviewing our Transfiguration notes. It's believable and fits in with our classes.
nods approvingly Perfect. Now, let's practice what we're going to say if anyone asks. We'll stick to the story that we were just studying together.
Very well then. Let's go through this one last time. "We were just studying together. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just going over some Transfiguration notes." Got it?
Excellent. Now that we have our story straight, it's time to put it into practice.
