It's why he was late to absolutely everywhere in the morning and rather sluggish. It seemed that all of his energy was channeled by the dark pulses of the night and that's when there was a pep in his step. Even right now he was almost skipping along the outline of the Whomping Willow. The vial in hand as he rolled it in-between his fingers with such gusto. As if it held the secret to exactly what he wanted. His mind was stuck in thoughts of anticipation. Thinking of Audrey's quirky humor. The locks of her beautiful brown hair. That smile... which some thought was rather off-putting but it made a stir inside of Derek that he hadn't quite anticipated. There had been crushes in Derek's life -- some even proved to be fruitful, but this beginning chemistry he had with Audrey was unreal and unlike anything he had seen before.<br/><br/>He didn't want to fuck it up.<br/><br/>Still, a smile was on his face until Audrey approached him from behind. He jumped back, luckily not anywhere within the reach of the Whomping Willow starting to stir awake now that there were two people threatening to get close. In a way, Derek wondered if the tree could smell him in anticipation. As if it knew that some sort of shenanigans was about to happen. There was a bit of shock in Derek's eyes when he saw her and they were wide. However, they softened when he realized it was her and how beautiful she looked. Gods, he wanted to kiss her there but he would wait. Instead he reached out and gave her a tight but brief hug. His cheek with very little stubble pressed against his cheek. He smelled her hair. He just saw her at dinner, but he wanted to remind himself of the enticing smell.<br/><br/>"Audrey! You came... I was a little worried, because it wouldn't be the first time that ... well, never mind," Derek slipped his arm behind his head and scratched the back a little nervously. In this time she had already saw the vial in his hand, and it just made his lips move into a devious smirk. "Both of us dying before we even get to first base? I'll pass," Derek said with that same smirk. Then he bit his bottom lip, looking a little more nervous as he held the vial and then said to her. "I... I have to do something but you're going to excuse me for it. Alright?"<br/><br/>Derek then reached out to her hair and grabbed one singular strand near the back. In the process, his fingers swam through the locks. Gracing the sensitive skin near the back of her neck as he tried to find a thin one. One that wouldn't hurt when he...<em>YANK</em>. Derek pulled a hair out of her head and then uncorked the vial with his teeth. Dropping it down into the silver liquid as it began to turn a color of green. A small sizzle and puff of smoke as it changed. Derek smiled. It was a good sign and he jammed the cork back in and gave it a good shake.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know. You can hit me later," Derek said leaning over and planting a kiss on her forehead. He was excited now. Potions always got him a little feisty. Derek fished his hand back into his pocket and pulled out another silver vial. The same size as the one he was showing Audrey. Looking rather beaten up and nearing the end of it's use. He was hoping that Audrey wouldn't have left and went home right then and there. Then shared to all the other Ravenclaw girls that he was a creep who liked to collect hair in vials. That was totally not what he was planning, even if that's what he was doing exactly.<br/><br/>"Now take this..." Derek said handing her the green vial that he had just created. "It's easier if we just do it rather than I explain it. It's just too many questions. At the count of three we're going to throw the vial over in that direction. You see where that stump is?" he pointed a few yards away. There was a rather large stump of a tree that was probably once beaten and bruised by the Whomping Willow before it was cut down. "You're going to throw that vial there at the count of three. Then we're going to run... don't stop running no matter what happens, alright?"<br/><br/>Derek grabbed Audrey's free hand. Assuming she took the vial and then gave her a stern look. "Do you trust me?" Derek asked with his nervous eyes. However, the Whomping Willow was already stretching it's stressed and tense branches and Derek knew that there time was running thin. Quickly he then said to Audrey, "Alright...<strong>3</strong>...<strong>2</strong>...<strong>1</strong>!!"
