The letter had arrived in the mail this morning. All morning – or rather; all day, if she was being honest – she’d been eyeing the white envelope with the King’s College logo on the front. When she had first seen it, she had felt a rush of excitement and had been about to tear it open right then and there, but then the magnitude of what that letter held had hit her, and she had taken a deep breath before bringing the letter inside. She could open it once the kids were in school.

Except she could, because she didn’t want to be alone when she read that letter. But the Foundation office hadn’t felt like the right place to do it, either. When it was time for her to go home, she hadn’t, but had instead gone upstairs in the neighbouring building and had let herself into Adrian’s flat.

Holding up the letter so he could see it, she hadn’t said anything, because she just didn’t know what to say. Instead, she had pulled herself up to sit on his work station, careful not to move or knock anything over.

“I really want this,” she told him, biting her lip as she looked up at him. “So incredibly much and now I’m scared to look.”

Adrian felt himself smile softly when she described him that way - it surprised him and warmed him.

Swallowing at the responsibility, he nodded and took the envelope from him. "No killing the messenger with overwhelming emotion when you get in, yeah?" He joked, before taking another long look at the paper and then sliding his finger along the edge to open it. Handing it back to her he held it for a moment when she'd taken hold of it, too, and leaned in to kiss her hard on the mouth. "I love you," he said, nodding, his breath and his voice steady, knowing what they'd both known for what felt like a long time but also knowing that it wasn't something he said lightly. Or ever.

“Gryffindor, remember?” Alicia pointed to herself, “I’ll make no guarantees for rampant and overpowering emotions.” She could feel her entire body shiver with excitement when Adrian finally – finally! – opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. She stretched her neck to see what it said, but the angle he held it at kept her from being able to read it.

It didn’t matter, she realised, because when he handed it back to her, she couldn’t look at it, couldn’t look away from his eyes, and then he was kissing her. Alicia wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back with the same fervour, licking her lips when they broke apart. He was nodding, and she found herself nodding right along when he spoke. “I know,” she told him. Adrian wasn’t one to say things like that, but she had known for a while now, even if he hadn’t said it. “I love you, too.” Her smile was bright, her cheeks almost hurting, but it didn’t matter, because, good Godric, she just couldn’t not smile right now. “Did I get in?” she asked him, hooking her leg around his thigh and pulling herself to sit up straighter so she could read the letter in her hand. “Dear Alicia Fawley, I am pleased to inform you,” she read from the letter, “that your application to King’s College London has been successf-“ The words broke off into a delighted shriek as she wrapped her arms back around his neck and laughed. “I got in!”

Adrian's smile matched her own and when she finally read the missive he laughed along with her. "Never any doubt, love," he chuckled, leaning down to kiss her neck in a quick line. Lifting his head he moved to take the letter from her hands and set it safely on the bench next to them, on a clean cutting board.

"I knew it," he said, "you should have learned by now that I'm always right. Slytherin, remember?" He gave her a cocky smile and then another congratulatory kiss. "How do you want to celebrate?" He asked, already cataloging in his mind if he had any champagne or good wine in the flat.

“Mmm,” Alicia moaned softly, stretching her neck to keep Adrian’s kisses coming. His words were comforting – she couldn’t even begin to describe how much his faith her meant to her – and his kisses were slowly, but surely, turning the nervous energy that had been building into an entirely different kind of energy. Add to that the thrill and excitement of getting accepted into college…

Opening her mouth to object to Adrian’s claim that Slytherins were always right, all she got for her trouble was Adrian playing dirty and shutting her up by kissing her. That kind of argumentation she couldn’t fight, and she didn’t want to either. “Celebrate?” she asked, her lips brushing against his as she spoke. “I’ve all this energy built up from worrying about that letter all day, so we… can…” Playfully, she nipped at his lips again the pressed a kiss to the side of his chin, “go run five or siz miles, or we can,” she grinned and nudged her nose gently against his, “stay right here,” she whispered.
