during saffi's years at hogwarts, there were plenty of rumors about students and professors having intimate relations, though she never actually believed it was possible. who would want to be with a professor? now that she was one, however, she understood. the newest of the professors, like herself, really weren't as unattractive or as old as the ones she had had as a student at hogwarts. now here she was, teaching her final class of students for the day and mostly just wishing that the class would go by quicker. one of the students spent twenty minutes trying to grasp the concept they were discussing, and by the time she finally got it, she had confused the rest of the class. so saffi had restarted the lesson, explaining to slowly and carefully. the third year students was the hardest course to teach out of all of them, because they were at the intermediate phase of things, so they wanted to know all of the unknowns of things that they wouldn't learn until their years to come.

when the time finally came to dismiss the students, saffi announced that they would go over everything again tomorrow, and sent them all on their way. once the last student was out of the room, she flicked her door closed with her want and practically ran into her little side office. she pulled open her cabinet setup and quickly changed out of her clothes from the day, pulling her robe back on after changing. her shirt showed off a bit of cleavage, and her skinny jeans hugged her just right, with a small bit of skin showing around her stomach. she knew it was horrible, but she really didn't care. saffi looked in the mirror at her red hair, a bit bored with it. it was a colour she would definitely go back to in the future, but for now she wanted her hair to match her clothes. she went with half pink, half blonde, which was completely odd, but nothing new for saffi. she had had so many random colors of hair that it just wasn't any big news to see her with some wild change. what she thought would be amusing was the fact that when hayden saw her just a matter of a few hours ago her hair was red and blonde. she liked to keep people on their toes, though, and that was exactly what she was going to do. saffi walked out of her office and sat down on top of her desk with her legs crossed, waiting rather impatiently for hayden.

hayden had spent the rest of his day in a daze. it was one thing to go on a date with a pretty girl, but sneaking around with his attractive teacher? the thought blew his mind. the boy could hardly focus in class, and every time a teacher called on him, hayden had to rely on his desk partner to whisper the answer in his ear. it all felt surreal, but at the same time, he was bubbling over with excitement. in a couple of hours he'd be sneaking off toward her classroom while the rest of his friends headed toward the great hall for the dance. a small part of him was sad he'd miss a night to have fun with friends, but a greater part of him was buzzing at the idea of being alone with saffi for an entire night without interruption. it wasn't often anyone was awarded that kind of privacy at hogwarts, and hayden felt more than a little lucky.

the minute he was dismissed, hayden lunged for the exit, cutting through the crowd in order to make it back to his dorm before pre-dance chaos set out in the common room. scrambling to a halt in front of the fat lady, hayden quickly muttered the password and slipped through the entrance, taking the stairs toward his room two at a time. reaching his four poster bed, the boy raced to his trunk, throwing the lid open. plaid button down, jeans, clean shirt. searching through the clothes, he managed to find all three items and slipped out of his school uniform before tossing the new wardrobe on. just as the rest of the seventh year boys started spilling into the room, hayden was heading back down the stairs, virtually invisible amongst the chatter and excitement about the night to come.

it only took him a few minutes to make his way back to saffi's classroom, but before he stepped through the entrance, the boy paused and took a deep breath, hands running through his curls to give him the effortless, i-don't-give-a-shit look he'd become known for around school. reaching forward, he took hold of the heavy brass handle and twisted it sharply, pushing the door forward with as much force as he could muster. the wooden frame creaked as it swung open, and within seconds hayden was stepping inside the familiar room, a lazy smile on his face. "professor?" he called, just in case they weren't alone for whatever reason.

if there was one thing that saffi had a thing for, it was sneaking around. even when she had been younger, she had always just found everything to be more fun if it was a big secret. that's what had turned her to liking girls as well as guys, because her parents had never really approved of it. it was a difficult task to keep saffi interested in something that wasn't going to keep her on her toes, and it really bothered most of the people who wanted a real relationship out of her. she had lost quite a few friends from school because they grew up and she didn't. growing up just wasn't fun, when it came down to it.

saffi played with her hair, braiding and unbraiding pink and blonde mixtures. it made her smile watching the ways it combined in different ways. she got bored of it quickly though and slipped back into her little office space and started to dig around. she picked her robe up and laid it out over her chair, knowing that she had no need to wear it now that she was out of having to teach any more classes or even deal with anyone besides hayden. most of the other professors had given their students a get out of jail free card just for the dance, mostly because a school dance meant that the professors that weren't going to be there watching were free to have the night either catching up on grading or just having time to themselves.

for saffi, however, it was a night of opportunities. when she heard the voice calling from the classroom, she slipped out of her office and shut the door behind her, leaning against it and running a hand gently through her hair. you're early.. wonder why. with a soft laugh, saffi winked at him and, with heels clicking, walked back to in front of her desk and leaned back against it slightly, ankles crossed.

though hayden acted cool and collected on the outside, it was far from what he was really feeling. on the inside, the boy was freaking out. it was hard to believe what was going on, yet at the same time, it all made sense. hayden always seemed to have good luck when it came to girls, so having the opportunity to get with a professor was no big surprise. yet the way he was handling it was completely new to him. he never felt nervous when meeting a girl, or anxious about the events that might unfold. tonight though, everything had new rules. they couldn't be discovered, he couldn't tell his friends, and she was so much older. it was widly sexy, adventurous, and everything hayden loved.

"there's nothing wrong with being punctual," he answered, navigating through the desks until he was standing a few feet away from her. "besides, being late to detention isn't exactly starting off on a good foot." with a shrug, he ran his hands through his curls, offering the girl a smile. "so, what tasks are you going to make me slave over tonight?" he asked coyly, though his hands were shaking slightly from nerves. stepping forward, he caught a tendril of her pink hair between his fingers and laughed. "you didn't have to go and get all fancy for me," letting the tendril fall back into place, hayden winked. "though, it is pretty hot to think you got all spiffed up just to see me."

confidence came easily for saffi. she had never really had an issue with it, and some even saw her as having a bit too much of it, mostly because if she was insecure about a physical trait of hers, she could just change it. the girl had never had many friends growing up, and even now that she was a teacher, she really didn't get along with most people her age, mostly because most of them truly believed she was only a student at hogwarts by the looks of her and her personality. it was no wonder that she would end up in a situation where she was with a student for "detention" while everyone else was off at a dance. if they were out in public, nobody would ever suspect a thing. it was more than just the fact that saffi could make herself look as young as she wanted, it was her personality all together. she had never quite grown up from being a teenager, so most of the people her age just didn't want much to do with her, and she was alright with that.

saffi shrugged lightly. "i suppose so." she licked at her lips, pulling at all of her hair to get it to rest over one shoulder. she raised an eyebrow and put a false look of thoughtfulness on her face before shrugging again softly. "i'll have to figure something out for you to do.." she purred, before placing a hand on her hip and raising an eyebrow. "oh, now who said i got fancy for you? maybe i just felt like dressing this way for the fun of making guys squirm when i walk through the halls." though, there was something about her tone that told it all, that she really had dressed how she did for his eyes and his eyes only, and the smile on her lips proved just that. "weren't you ever taught that you're not supposed to question when a girl gets fancied up for you, and you're just supposed to compliment it?" saffi shrugged and twirled a few strands of pink and blonde around her finger. "i suppose i'll have to teach you a little more than ghoul studies, hm?" she dropped her hair back down and lifted her hand to grab hold of hayden's shirt collar, pulling him close so that his ear was right near her lips. "if you can handle me, that is."
