“Mm, who wouldn’t want to be a shining moment in your day?” Alicia smiled at Adrian, making no moves to move away from him. She liked this, liked the comfort of the physical contact with him and the fact that he wasn’t moving away considering they were never overly physical with each other. “Then again, ‘scapegoat’ has such nice potential for martyrdom, so it’s a matter of wanting the praise now or wait ‘til I’m dead, right?”
Looking at Adrian for a long moment, Alicia smirked slightly. “You still are,” she admitted. The thing was, he had become so much more than that Slytherin prat, even if she couldn’t put a label on exactly what that was.
