Tess' Sharpuary - 28. Smirk (*)
Aesop finds his sweetheart made a little list about himm. About the various way he smirks at her, that is.
a/n: I *may* have cheated slightly with this one, as the list has existed for a few months at this point, but it is what it is 😅Also, the dressing table is my little nod towads the ruling queen of drawing backgrounds and victorian furniture in general, Cress ❤

In Aesop’s defence, the first thing on his mind as he approached his sweetheart’s open diary was to close it and put it back into one of the drawers of her dressing table where she usually kept it. It was not like the two of them kept any secrets from each other (apart from little romantic surprises and presents, of course), but reading a partner’s personal diary without their explicit consent was still a massive breach of privacy in Aesop’s opinion.
And yet, when he finally reached the open journal, he paused. He didn’t mean to peek, but found himself rather unable not to read on when he caught a glimpse of the title of her apparently most recent entry.
‘List of Aesop Sharp’s Smirks’
Under the title was indeed a list of ten points. The potions master’s hand twitched, but wouldn’t move to close the diary. His eyes read the first few points:
We're going to have ourselves a good night.
Come have some fun into my chambers.
He couldn’t stop his lips from forming into a small grin. He couldn’t deny it - he was growing very interested in the rest of the list. Maybe he could chance reading it quickly. It was innocent enough, a little list his sweetheart made for fun. He could beg for forgiveness later.
3. How would you feel about some less-than-innocent activity
4. I'm going to make your toes curl tonight.
Oh, alright! Now we’re getting to the more fun ones. He wondered whether he truly had ten ways of smirking at her when it came to the promise of a passion filled night (or day), and if so, how was she able to determine the meaning? He could admit that there was a way he smirked at her when he was in the mood for a more carnal kind of fun, but he had no idea his smirks had a scale!
5. You're going to moan my name like a prayer.
6. My back will bear the perfect imprints of your nails.
He bit his lower lip. He wouldn’t mind feeling the sting of her fingernails on his back again soon. Feeling them there, under his shirt, following his movements as he went about his day served as a sweet reminder, one that made a feeling of thrill course through his veins, even as he did completely mundane things, like hand out pop-quizzes. His back already bore small scars shaped like small crescent moons, and they were his pride and joy. Maybe he could try to replicate smirk number 6, soon...
7. You'll later be embarrassed from just how wanton your screams were.
8. You'll beg me to destroy you.
Wouldn’t be the first. With a smile, Aesop remembered the various nights during which she did beg him to go harder, faster, deeper, tears rolling out of her eyes. She was so beautiful when she submitted to him completely like this, when she let him manhandle her to his own pleasure, arching against him, clinging onto him for dear life. Of course, even when he did get rougher, he always made sure she reached the peak of her pleasure, preferably several times.
9. You won't be able to speak within the next 24 hours from how much I'll make you scream
Again, not the first. The potions master grinned smugly. Edging, and subsequent overstimulation made his sweetheart release cries that neither of them thought her capable of making. Aesop loved it, though, and he wanted to hear more. Poor darling, she nodded off in exhaustion right after he was finally done with her. Luckily, he always had some potion for a sore throat ready for her in the morning. Among other potions for different sore things. Occasionally for the two of them.
10. You're not leaving the bed for the following two days. Not that you'd be able to.
Hm… Well, he wasn’t aware of this smirk. That is, they did spend a lot of time in bed together, but two days straight? As proud as Aesop was of his stamina, he wasn’t sure he had enough of it for two days. Only one way to find out, he supposed.
“Ace?” came her voice from the door, and the potions master jumped in surprise. Panic filled him as he saw her standing at the door. However, instead of looking mad that he just read an entry in her diary, a small smile played upon her mouth. Nevertheless: “I-... I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to snoop, but…” “It’s alright. There’s nothing secret in there. It’s just a little way to clear my head.”
She walked towards him, and he silently handed her the journal. She chuckled as she realised what her sweetheart just read
“I was just wondering about number 10,” Aesop said carefully, still feeling slightly embarrassed for having been caught red-handed. “Oh, 10 hasn’t happened. Yet,” she said nonchalantly as she stored her diary away into the dressing table. “Any plans to make it happen?” he asked then, a sly smile finally coming back to his face.
She turned towards him, extending her hands for him to hold. He instantly took hold of them and pulled her closer: “Nothing set in stone, but I don’t doubt there will come a time. What else are honeymoons for?” Aesop laughed softly, before pressing a small kiss against her mouth. And then - he smirked.
“Ooh, trying number 5 on me, are we?” she teased, grinning back at him.
“What? This is number 6, loud and clear! I should know, it’s my own mouth!”
“It’s number 5, trust me. This is a scientific list, tested and confirmed, while it is your mouth, it is I who sees it.”
“Oh, just kiss me, you impossible woman.”

Do you have any headcanons for Professor Fig, including what his Boggart would be?
Random Professor Fig headcanons by me!
Professor Fig, we all love him!
I’m pretty sure it's safe to say that he was definitely a father figure to MC in the time that they were together.
He never had any kids himself but MC was like his kid.
He and Mariam met in school and he most definitely fell first. Her intelligence and beauty is what drew him in.
Mariam was aware of his feelings for her and thought it was the cutest thing ever, joking about it... until she fell in love with him too.
He is a Gryffindor.
He's a half-blood.
He taught Magical Theory at Hogwarts.
I feel like he’s definitely the kind of guy to get to know his students really well. Always the professor you could come to if you had any problems.
As for his line of work after school, it is said he abandoned a career at the Ministry of Magic to follow Mariam in her journeys. So I assume he was trying to get into the Department of Magical Law Enforcement or the Department of International Magical Operation.
And from him leaving a career for Mariam, we can only assume he was a great husband.
He’s a very caring person with a strong moral compass.
Although I HC that he and Mariam probably snuck out a few times during their school years (lol)
Always had a picture of Mariam on him, he’d look at it almost every single day especially after his death.
His favorite classes when he was in school were probably Magical Theory, Defense Against the Dark Arts, or Divination.
Although he disliked the History of Magic class due to the rambling, he really enjoys the subject in itself and is very well versed in it.
As for his Boggart, this one’s a bit tricky. I see him as a guy who would be really close to his family and it would probably have to do with losing one of them or maybe it had to do with an experience he had as a teenager.
And since fears change as you get older and you change, I feel like after his marriage to Mariam, his boggart would probably be losing her.
Sucks that that one became true :(
He definitely seems like he’s the oldest sibling. Has more sisters than he does brothers.
#1 women respecter.
I feel like he’d get along really well with Professor Weasley and Professor Onai. All of them have some sort of child/child figure/child in their family and so they’re kinda like the Hogwarts parent trio ™
