After a rather confusing weekend -- or at least it looked confusing now, once she had stopped being in love with Jasper Finningan -- Dominique was glad to have her feelings back to normal; and to see that her real -- and secret -- crush was still there and hadn't changed. She really didn't know what had happened to her in the last forty-eight hours, but she hoped it never happened again.

Closing her journal after reading Phoenix's last comment, she got up from her bed and went to take a quick look in the mirror. She had to make sure she looked good before meeting Phoenix -- or any other boy for that matter. She brushed her hair with her fingers, smoothed her skirt and shirt, and she was ready to go.

It took her less than five minutes to reach the Great Hall, and now all she had to do was wait for him.

"Oh of course. I'm quite sure my great grandmother used it to marry my great grandfather." Dominique laughed softly, her cheeks blushing pink. She paused for a moment to think, a small forwn appearing on her beautiful features as she pondered his question. "I'm not sure. But I think they can't tell, at least not while it's working. I don't know about later, thought." She was enjoying all those questions; she had never thought too much about her Veela charm, just that it was there and she could use it whenever she pleased. Those questions made her think of how it worked and its effects on other people.

"My father never warned me agaisnt it, just to be careful. There are dangerous creatures here after all. But I think if we don't disturb them they shouldn't disturb us, am I not right?" She was loking around as they walked, taking notice of the different shape of the trees and any creature that could move through them. She was about to take another step when she felt Phoenix's hand tighten around her. She turned to him with a curious expression on her face and opened her mouth to ask what when she followed his line of vision and she saw it. The most beautiful creature in the word was right in front of them and oh Merlin, it was just perfect. "You're not." She said, almost mouthing the words instead of whispering them.

Phoenix laughed lightly when she had spoken of her grandmother. "Does he know she used them?" he asked. "I wouldn't be too sure how someone would feel about falling in love with someone that way. It wouldn't seem right..." If he would be asked how he would feel if such powers would use on him, he would feel violated. "Not to judge anyone or anything." he added.

"I suppose you're right. If I were a creature in these woods I wouldn't truly care if someone wanted to have a look around. What I would mind is if they started aggravating me in any way. So yes, you're right. It's all about give and take."

His breath was literally taken away by the sight before him. Never had he seen something so beautiful that he was left humbled, and felt as if he was even undeserving to see such a thing. When she assured him she also saw the creature, he was relieved At least he wasn't crazy. He took one step forward, intending on getting closer for a better look, when his foot suddenly stepped on a twig, snapping it in half, a crisp sound that echoed through the still forest. His eyes casted down for barely a second, but when he looked up, the creature was gone. "I... I'm sorry." he said, though he wasn't sure what he was apologizing for. "Did you see where it went?"

She shrugged, chuckling softly. "I have no idea." She replied. "Oh, I feel the exact same way. If a boy falls in love with me, I want it to be because he loved the real me, not whatever the Veela charm made him believe to love. It'd be a very empty relationship if it was solely based on the powers."

She smiled at him and gave him a little nod. "Exactly."

Domonique was truly mesmerized by the unicorn. She had always heard Veelas were the most beautiful creatures in the world, but they were worng. The white and silvery creature before them was much more beautiful than any Veela. And much more breathtaking. She jumped lightly when the twig snapped, turning to Phoenix to see what had caused it. And she when looked back, the unicorn was gone. "I didn't... But I guess it went deeper in the forest." She replied. "Wow, I've never seen anything so beautiful." She said with a smile.

Phoenix nodded lightly in response to her words. "As would I." he admitted.

Phoenix was suddenly filled with an unexplainable feeling of regret, though it was diffcult to pin point why exactly. Perhaps if he had not been greedy for a closer look, he would perhaps be gazing at the beautiful creature now. Another concern for him was ruining that moment for his companion. who seemed as if she was as stunned and humbed as he was. His gaze drifted to her when she spoke. "Perhaps." he said, his lips forming a straight line, though corners of his mouth upturned when she smiled at him. "It was." Suddenly, he felt a bond between him and Dominique, one that was thin and fresh but he could tell it was there. He wondered distantly if she felt it too. "Do you believe the unicorn was trying to tell us something?" he asked. "I have heard those creatures do not show themselves so readily to humans."

Phoenix shouldn't be worried about ruining the moment for Dominique. Sure she would've loved to look at the unicorn longer, even get closer to touch it (they did prefer a woman's touch after all); but she was happy with what she had got and she wasn't going to complain. On the contrary, she would owl her mother as soon as they were back at the castle to tell about what they saw.

Yes, she had felt that bond too. She had been fleeing something was happening between them as they walked and talked, realizing they had a few things in common, similar ways of seeing things and just a good conversation; but it was now more evidently to her. "Oh, maybe. I believe nothing happens by coincidence; there's always a reason behind it. Sometimes it's clear to us and other times we have to think and work hard to figure it out; but there's always a reason."

Even as Dominique smiled brghtly at him, Phoenix could not help but feel embarrassed of his actions still. Though of course, this was something he couldn't allow himself to show. Gently, he released her hand on his side, then moved to pocket his hands in his robes instead. He kept their closeness however, just because he wouldn't want the other to suspect or notice something was wrong. Her words however, caught his attention and his face turned slowly towards her. "I agree with that." he said, nodding his head slowly. "It might not make sense why the things occuring now are happening, but in time we will come to understand why. And perhaps in time we would discover why the unicorn showed itself to us." He wondered distantly if it would have showed itself to him if he were wandering in the forrest alone, or if it would be the same if she were alone as well.

After expelling a long sigh, Phonix's gaze returned to the path behind them. "Do you think we should head back?" he asked, turning back to her. "I hope your skills in navigation are superb, just incase the woods decide to play a trick on us..."

Dominique felt a sudden loss when he let go off her hand. After being warm and protected in his, she could feel the light cold breeze in it and she did not like it. However, she did not showed her true feelings either and focused of the fact that he was still close to her. "Exactly." She replied with a smile. It was so good to know that someone else shared her view in that matter. "We will know exactly what the unicorn was trying to tell us when the right time comes. We just have to be patient."

She shrugged lightly at his question. "I suppose so. We do need to go to the kitchens so you eat something." She said with a small smile. "Oh, don't worry. I know the way back." She grinned, turning around and starting to walk back to the castle, not walking away from him.

When she had agreed, Phoenix nodded once before gesturing towards the path through which they came. He had moved behind her, a protective hand poised by her back, but not exactly touching. It was a protective gesture- one that was meant to make her feel safer in such a dark gloomy place- though he could see she was the sort of woman who was more than capable of taking care of herself. "That sounds good, though..." he trailed off, taking a small peak at the watch linked to a chain inside his pocket. "I might have to wait until dinner." he said, looking down at her. "Should I walk you to your dormitories?" A most inviting smile.
