Frankie & Minos' First Meeting

[Frankie Macmillan]

He first met Minos when he was in fourth year. The older boy who was a Fifth Year Prefect at the time had given his younger sister detention who sought Frankie out in tears. The next day, Amelia pointed out to Frankie who made her cry so he went and confronted Minos, resulting in a weeks detention which Minos ended up supervising because there were no Professors available for the job.

November 2019

Frankie Macmillan was furious and that wasn't just a mild statement. He'd little sister, Amelia, had just sought him out in tears because some fifth year bully under the guise of a Prefect had decided to give her detention. Never one to not speak his mind, he'd gotten Amelia to point him out the following day and thus here he was, walking briskly up to the Slytherin and tapping him on the shoulder until the other guy whirled around.

Immediately, he was taken aback but he tried not to show it. This guy... he was... gorgeous. Clearing his throat, he crossed his arms over his chest and looked the older boy steadily in the eyes. "Sorry to bother you from your little conversation -" He looked pointedly over his shoulder at a Hispanic girl who rolled her eyes before sauntering away, "- but I don't suppose you remember giving a first year Hufflepuff detention yesterday, do you?"

[Minos Montague]

Minos was doing it again. This girl was in his trap. She was eating up everything he said. What was her name though? Maria? Selena? Sofia? She was very pretty though. Her deep brown eyes similar to her dark caramel looking skin. Minos wanted her and he usually got everything he wanted. He raised his hand to push back her hair away from her face and she smiled at him. And that was it. She was his. But who dares interrupt his conversation with the girl?

He whirled around after feeling a tap on his shoulder,
annoyance clearly written on his face. Just some
Gyrffindor. Minos didn't know who he was but
then again, he doesn't really hang out with people outside
his crowd. He could pass off for someone his age but he would
have seen him around with the other 5th years. And he was a bit cute. His hair was the perfect shade of gold and his eyes were lovely to look at even if they were filled with anger. Whoever he was, he still interrupted his talk with whoever the girl was. He could feel the presence behind him leave. And now she was gone.

"And somehow I don't really feel as if you're sorry, kid,"
Minos said ignoring the question first. "Yeah I gave some girl detention, if you must know. What's it to you?"

[Frankie Macmillan]

"That's because I'm not particularly sorry," Frankie told him bluntly, giving him surly look as he sized him up. He was only an inch or two shorter than the other guy but by the look of things, he was quite a bit stronger. Judging by the pristine clothing this other kid wore and the superior expression he wore, along with the Slytherin tie, Frankie guessed he was a Pureblood. "That girl was my sister and the detention was completely unjustified. You gave her detention for 'lingering in the corridors' when she was running late because the stairs kept moving on her. So I want you to take it back."

He couldn't force the guy to, of course, he couldn't really do anything except insult him and try not to punch him. Saying that Frankie was overprotective of his sister was an understatement because his family meant the whole world to him - and his family included his friends. "Are you... a monster or something?" he asked, giving him a defiant look. "Because she's a first year. A first year. I bet you didn't even consider how terrified she was about getting detention and possibly a letter sent home to our parents. You don't do that to little kids. You give them warnings first and tell them to hurry up. You don't give them detention because they're running five or ten minutes late. You just don't."

[Minos Montague]

Minos was caught off guard. No one really ever spoke to him like that. Most people were usually really polite or shy or something. It really bothered him for some reason. "Yes, well we all have our own versions of the story, don't we? Your sister was 'running late', but I saw her lingering. So that's that." He pulled a face. "Are you dicking around with me? I won't take it back. What kind of prefect would I be if I did? A terrible one is what I'd be," he said answering his own question. "Who do you think you are anyway? Talking to me like this." Minos had a condescending smile on his face. "But how about this? You can apologize to me and we'll forget this ever happened and you can go back to your hovel with your sister and I'll go lay that girl I was talking to, yeah?"

Minos set his jaw. This guy was just not giving up was he? He rolled his eyes. "Do I look like a monster to you?" He pushed back his hair from his face. "Anyways, yeah she's a first year but that doesn't mean I'm going to baby her. If she's old enough to live away from the old family home she can deal with detention. Sure some prefects don't like giving out detentions but I do." He crossed his arms over his chest. "Anything else you need to say?"

[Frankie Macmillan]

"Why would a first year girl lie? Much less, a Hufflepuff? Why would she be 'lingering' in the corridors? She's eleven, too terrified to skip class because she wouldn't want to get in trouble," Frankie informed him before narrow his eyes. "No, you'd be one who's actual concerned about being somebody who has morals." He let out a loud scoff. "As if that's going to happen. I can talk to you however you want to. What, you think because you're a Pureblood, you're all that? Because you're not. My dad is a ninth generation and he doesn't act like a snob. Or do you think you're all that because you were smart enough to get Prefect? Because again, you're not. I'm coming first in all my classes. I'm probably just as smart as you. There's no reason for you to think you're better than me... much less because you probably live in a mansion and I live on a farm."

"No, you look like a power-abusive dickhead to me," he said, watching as he started to get a rise out of the other guy. He pulled up to his full height, straightening his shoulders. "You should at least take her age into consideration. She's new here, she's bound to get lost... and sure, she can deal with detention, but that doesn't make it any less terrifying and unjustified to her. She doesn't deserve a detention because she can't find a way around this castle and the stairs kept changing on her"

"Of course you do," he plundered on, determined and not caring if he was getting in trouble. "Yes, actually. Maybe you should be concerned more with actually using your power to give people who are actually doing the wrong thing detention instead of trying to getting into some girl's pants... and quite frankly, I'm going to say that that girl was going to give it up quite easily. Judging on the way her skirt was practically a belt, her hair was perfectly orchestrated to be brushed out of her eyes and her shirt was only half-way buttoned. You should have given her detention, actually, for dressing like some woman who works the streets at night and obviously can't dress herself properly."

[Minos Montague]

"I don't know, mate, you tell me. She's your sister. Sure she's young but you'd be surprised what girls do at eleven." As soon as Minos said it he wished he could take it back. Now the Gryffindor probably thinks he's a pervert who thinks his sister is a whore in the making. Fuck. He cleared his throat. "I would have never guessed you were a pureblood and what makes you think I'm a supremacist? For all you know, I could be part of muggle loving family like the Weasleys. You're the one putting those thoughts in your head. But yes, I'm a prefect and you're not. I'm older and you're a child. I'm Minos Montague." He gave out a laugh. "I didn't actually think you lived in a hovel. But a farm, really? How very...country of you."

"What's the point of having power if you can't use it? That's ridiculous." He rolled his eyes. "Are you nearly done with this? Your sister has detention and you're getting on my nerves. Deal with it, farm boy." He didn't think giving some girl detention was going to bring him so much trouble. "Your sister can thank me later for giving her some backbone."

"Do you think I really care if she was an easy lay. I prefer it actually. Why try so hard for something that you know will never last? She has a boyfriend anyway." Detention was way past due for the Gryffindor. But he'd never had much of a challenge from anyone. It was different. "She can dress however she wants. She had her required uniform on, sure it was more fitted then most but what do you want me to say? 'Don't try to up your appearance. Everyone already thinks you're a slut?'"

[Frankie Macmillan]

Frankie's expression took on one of disgust as he looked at the guy. Who the hell was he? "You're a bloody pervert and you're not going any where near my sister. If she has to get detention then she's not being left alone in the room with you." He took a step backwards, not because he was intimidated but more because he didn't want to stand near anybody who implied that about his sister. "I'm not. My dad is... and I didn't say you were a supremacist. I said you were a snob and that you're no better than anybody who's Muggleborn or a half-blood." He let out a loud scoff as he mimicked, "I'm Minos Montague. Sorry, is that name meant to mean anything? Because it doesn't... and I don't see how I'm the child when you're like, what, a year older?"

"You can use it, you just can't abuse it." It rhymed and Frankie had to hold himself back from commenting on the fact. This was Gavi, he couldn't joke around with this guy. "Actually, no. No, I'm not... I'm going to take this up with my Head of House, then her Head of House, then your Head of House, and watch as you get yelled at for implying my sister was some sort of... trollop -" Who the fuck said trollop any more? Shit. "- and giving her a detention she doesn't deserve... also, farm boy? Sorry, is that meant to be some kind of slight on where I live?"

"I think you should have some standards at least... and really, Minos Montague? You're that much of a... you're going to sleep with a girl with a boyfriend. Gee, that's classy." He was probably going to get detention at this rate but he didn't care. This guy needed to be put into his place and, infuriatingly enough, so far it wasn't working. "It wasn't fitted, it was non-existent... and yeah, that'd be nice. Not every guy in this school wants to see her falling out of her shirt."

[Minos Montague]

"Actually dearest young one. I never said anything like what you were implying. I was talking about 'other things'. You know, shooting the pipe. Going on a shroom diet." That was all bullshit but he could have some sort of rumor spread about him being some sort of pervert. Minos kept a cool face. No way was he going this little battle. "Good, we're on the same page. I'm no supremacist but you still seem to think I'm...low rent" He grimaced. He hadn't put it in the right words. He didn't think he was better then the other blood races he just thought he was better then most people, purebloods included. "I'm smart, rich and bloody sexy. That means I can get what I want. And I wanted this damn title because I deserve it. Get it? It's not only muggleborns and halfbloods, I'm also better then the people in my own social circle."

"Yes, it means that you should watch your back. My family is very closely tied with certain figures in the dark parts of Britain's past." He cleared his throat. All this damn talk was going to give him some sort of sore throat. "I don't believe age defines if you're a kid or not. I'm guessing you're still a virgin, yeah," he mocked.

"Abuse it? I gave a student who was breaking the rules detention. How was that breaking the rules? And I was trying to get a girl, just like you or any other man would do. Tell me what's so terrible about that." Minos grew a face as if he was saying, 'tell me now and stop wasting my time.' He put on an appalled face. "And you're gonna tell on me for saying that, which I never did by the way. You're the one implying that about your own sister, you sick person you."

"The professors are the ones supervising detentions. They would already know that she was lingering around the halls. It's you two's word against mine. Anything else you want to try on me?" Minos looked at him in the eyes as if he was just daring him to do something else. Something that could get him in trouble. "Well you do live on a farm yeah. It's not common here, so it'll be a good nickname for you."

"And what's it to you? If I have standards? I can shag who I want whenever I want. And she wants it. I won't deny her if she wants and I'll be happy to give." Minos' words were laced with undertones. "Alright, the next time I see her I'll tell her you want her to put some more clothes on," he spoke sarcastically. "Every sexually active man wants see that, actually."

[Frankie Macmillan]

Frankie's fist clenched by his side, wanting to punch the guy in the fucking face. Who did he think he was, implying that his sister was some sort of drug addict? He had no business. "Low rent?" he repeated blankly. "What does that even mean? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you being 'smart, rich and bloody sexy' - and one of those adjectives, by the way, is a lie that I can see as clear as day... wow, you're really up yourself. Not a leader at all. Why the hell would they pick you to be a role model?"

"Yeah, and my family is very closely tied with the people who actually won the war. Both my parents helped to win that war, actually. So trust me when I say that I'm not afraid of empty threats like that," he told him dismissively. He felt his cheeks warm up. "What, I must be a virgin because I'm not some kind of manslut who hits on girls with boyfriends? Yeah, that makes sense."

He dragged his fingers through his curly hair. "Merlin, you are so - you gave her detention because she was lingering for five minutes instead of being nice and directing her to her classroom or giving her a warning. That's abusing it," he insisted. He narrowed his eyes. "Okay, fine then, you implied that she was some sort of a eleven year old who does 'shrooms."

Frankie bit back his correction of it being a demiguise farm and just settled for shooting him a dirty look instead. He could practically hear the innuendo in every word this Minos guy was saying. "Doesn't matter to me. I was just telling you that you should have standards because they're a good thing to have - rather than just shagging every desperate girl who throws themselves at you." He let out a scoff. Yeah, every straight sexually active man wanted to see that... and Frankie, as man as he was, definitely wasn't straight. Not that he'd admit it. "I'm sure the female population in Hogwarts is just thrilled to see up her skirt."

[Minos Montague]

Minos rolled his eyes. One of his peeves was having to repeat what he said more then once. "It means, you think I'm everything terrible in a person. Which I'm not. And since you're so concerned about my leadership position, you can go question that with the headmistress. She's the one who gave me the prefect job in the first place." His facial expression was clearly an I dare you to the Gryffindor. And with how he was presenting himself, he may clearly well go up to her with the question.

"That's great to hear. So when I tell Aunt and Uncle Carrow that's there's a defiant Gryffindor giving me a problem, you'll be hiding behind mummy and daddy while they get Crucio'd." He smiled sweetly. "You must be a virgin since you can't say virgin without blushing like a little girl. "

He raised his eyebrows. "What? I'm so what? Go on and finish your sentence." He let out a loud grown. "You're so damn persistant, you know that. Your sister has detention. I can't take it back. What the fuck do you want me to do about it? Resign for being a good prefect? Highly unlikely."

"And why would I be rude like that? Discourage her and possibly bring down her self esteem. Not the gentlemanly thing to do. That's probably why you're still a virgin, by the way. You're not being the guy that girls want to throw themselves at." Chances are that around girls the Gryffindor was reserved or judgmental, which is a big turn off with the girls. He shrugged. "Sure, if they're lesbians, which are more common then you think."

[Frankie Macmillan]

"Oh. Well, in that case, low rent definitely applies to you," Frankie said with a dismissive snort before he straightened his shoulders. Was this guy seriously challenging him to go ask the Headmistress? Because everybody knew that Gryffindors could rarely resist a challenge. They were called brave and gutsy for a reason. "Fine then, I will next time I see her. No worries, mate. Because unlike you Slytherins, I'm actually brave enough to go propose such a question to her." Either brave or stupid.

His hands ached to just shove the little twat to the ground - he was strong enough, he could do it, but he resisted... barely. "Crucio'ing somebody is against the law so they'd end up in Azkaban where they belong," he said, practically spitting out the words. "So what if I am a virgin anyways? If you're the epitome of 'constant sex-haver' then I'd rather remain one for life instead of becoming a smarmy git, thanks."

"Stupid, stuck-up, pompous, git-like," he said, filling in the adjectives without a care in the world. "You can so take the fucking detention back so take it back! You were in the wrong, you should have to admit that... or go back in time and get a detention in first year yourself... or make your parents have kids so then next year when I'm a good Prefect, I'll let any of their misdemeanour's slide."

"Or encourage her to dress properly so she doesn't get mistaken for a stripper! And besides, who says I want to be the guy that girls throw themselves at? Who's to say that I -" He cut himself short, blanching and hoping that this guy didn't notice his slip up. Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck. "I'm sure that there are more straight girls here at Hogwarts than lesbians."

[Minos Montague]

"And like I said. I'm not. You're just clouded by your emotions. You Gryffindors get so angered by just about anything," Minos said whimsically. He rolled his eyes. The Gryffindor definitely wasn't backing down soon. And Minos was getting tired of this banter. How should he get rid of him? Surely there was something to shut him up. "Unlike you Gryffindors, we know when something is a lost cause. You don't question the Headmistress and you don't ask a prefect to take back a detention, for example." He smirked.

He shrugged his shoulders carelessly. "It wouldn't be the first time in the cage. I'm sure they can manage," he shot back just as viciously. He raised an eyebrow. "You're even stranger then I thought. You'd really rather be a virgin the rest of your life then enjoy the pleasures of it like I do? That's just ridiculous."

"And you're a treacherous little shit who really needs to learn his manners." Minos' own manners seemed to leave him as well. The argument was getting more and more heated. He was surprised no one was around. But that was probably a good thing. " No I fucking can't! It's done! The professors know, the headmistress knows. Let it go for fucking sake." He shook his head. The Gryffindor was unbelievable. "Your solutions are terrible and quite frankly stupid."

"I couldn't just encourage her to be herself. And if she's a slag well she'll be one! No one gives a fuck. Fine, you want a nice shy quiet girl. You don't want to be me. That's alright, not many can pull it off." That was a just a plain insult the to other boy. "Sure. That's probably the only think you've been right about in this whole conversation. Congratulations."

[Frankie Macmillan]

Frankie's overwhelming urge to punch the guy in the side of the face was coming to a head and he shoved his clenched hands into the pockets of his robes, fuming. "I wasn't asking you to take it back in the first place. I was telling you to," he said irrationally.

"Great. So you're an arse with parents who were pathetic enough to side with Voldemort," he said snarkily. He wasn't usually like this but something from the other guy, it just gave a rise out of him and he was saying things without thinking. "I'm not strange and yes, I'd rather be a virgin for the rest of my life then be like you. I have my right hand, after all, and so far it's done it's job fantastically for me." ... And now he was saying things about his own personal, private habits without thinking. Great job, Frankie. He ought to pat himself on his back for that.

Annoyed at the constant, 'you can take it back' and 'no, I can't' banter between them, he just gave a frustrated, "Then make sure her detention isn't something stupid like shoving her in the fucking Forbidden Forest! Or better yet, give me detention instead of her!" He was breathing heavily by this point and before he could stop himself, a small snort of amusement came out from him. "Frankly." If the other guy knew his name, he'd know why it was amusing.

"I give a fuck and you should to! Just because you want in her sodding pants than... just... tell her to stop it!" His defense was feeble and possibly stupid but apparently he'd lost all sense of speaking normal sentences with this guy. His heartbeat slowed down and returned back to normal once he realised that the other guy hadn't noticed his slip up. Or if he had, he hadn't commented on it. "Yes, that's totally the reason I don't want to be you. It's not because I don't want to be pathetic or anything."

[Minos Montague]

Minos smiled widely. Normally when he could see he was bothering another, he kept his satisfaction to himself. But Minos was trying to push the guy's buttons. He deserved to get detention, Minos thought. Perhaps if Minos really had a little sister he could see where the guy was coming from but he didn't. He had Kale but Kale could handle himself pretty well. "Have you gone mental? You're telling me to do something. I don't think you know what a prefect is boy. I give out orders. You do them."

"No. I never said my parents fought in the war. My father, once a purist, is now relaxing with my liberal mother at home. My cousins on the other hand were brave enough to fight along side a once traditional cause. Problem?" He pursed his lips letting his eyes cast over the Gryffindor. "Alright. Then you wank and you want to be a virgin for the rest of your life if it meant you didn't end up like me. And you're calling yourself normal?"

He sighed. This was going on far to long, Minos thought. He'd eventually had to negotiate with the guy. "Fine you win. You get detention. And your sister still has by the way." He laughed humorlessly. "She was going to clap erasers clean with her head of house anyway. But I like the idea of you getting detention too. Your name, unless you want me to say it was that wanker in the Gryffindor uniform." Minos wasn't going to forget the wanking comment any time soon.

"Um...," he pretended to consider it,"no." His face turned a light shade of red. "You think I'm pathetic? That's priceless. Coming from the person who's fighting me to take back some detention from some first year who probably won't think to much of it when she's older."

[Frankie Macmillan]

"'Boy'? Really? Seems like you're the boy here seeing as you have a mindset like one," Frankie muttered before he looked up, forcing a smile on his lips. "I'm not just going to lay down and take orders from somebody like you, thanks. I've got this thing called pride and anybody who obeys orders from somebody power-hungry like yourself obviously doesn't."

"Yeah, I have a problem with that, actually. I have a problem that they might have killed some of my family or friends of family off. I don't really take to that idea too well," he retorted, shifting uncomfortably as the older boy's eyes looked over him. He felt his cheeks warming and prayed to Merlin that they other guy didn't notice. "Fine, I'd be happy to wank all my life. No worries, mate... and yep, normal. Totally normal." Liar.

"Great, thank - wait, what? You're making her - I thought you - you could have told me that, for Merlin's sake! I thought you were sending her off to... you are such a fucking prat!" If he was getting detention then he was going to make it worth it at least. He crossed his arms over his chest. "Oh, ha ha. Very funny... it's Frankie Macmillan. Or, rather, if you'd like my full name: Franklin Callum Macmillan."

"Actually, standing up for my little sister doesn't make me pathetic. It makes me actually care enough not to see her crying and worried," he said with a glare, not missing the sudden onset of redness in the other guy's face, as subtle as it may have been. "Why don't you actually give arseholes who deserve detention a detention? Like Christian Laurent or Dianna Grey or somebody instead of a first year?"
