The Malfoy Ball had turned out to be an interesting turn of events. It was the first time Adelaide had laid eyes on Lord Voldemort and it was enough to actually strike fear into her heart. He was completely different from what she had expected and just by his presence, she could feel his strength and power. It made her question, only for a fraction of a minute, if she was entirely sure she knew what she was getting into.

And then she got greedy.

If this man was so powerful, was able to command such loyalty, think of the power she could obtain with it. It made her more determined to find a way to complete the spell and prove to Lucius she could be apart of the Death Eaters.

She was practicing that spell when an owl flew through her window, depositing a small poinsettia and a message.

She could only smile and fold up the parchment with the spell on it, quickly forgotten. She had been nervous and surprised at the ball, to find that her relationship with Dominic had turned a complete 180. It was certainly different, but she liked it. She was worried that perhaps it was just the alcohol talking that night, but with the note and the flower, she began thinking that maybe he had actually meant it.

She flew down the stairs from the Ravenclaw Tower, eager to see him again. Excursion? It certainly sounded interesting enough and she quickened her step to meet him.

She found him right where he said he would be and a smile played across her lips. Ever since the ball, she had found herself smiling more and more. It was hard to become accustomed to.

"Hey," she said, stepping up beside him, her arms crossed. "Thanks for the flower. It's...pretty." She had never received flowers before, save from her father. She had never expressed an interest in them as other girls had, but she sentiment was still appreciated.

"So what grand adventure do you have planned for us?"

Adelaide was almost disturbed how easily it was that she fell into a comfortable routine with Dominic. It was like their years of teasing and playful banter were turning into fond memories and they had moved on to a new step in their relationship. Perhaps there had always been some kind of attraction between themselves at the time, the teasing hiding something all together.

Dominic was her first real boyfriend. She had never taken to any other member of the opposite sex before, thinking it a waste of her time. Those that she might have been interested in didn't look at her in the same way and she just convinced herself that it was better that way. Less distractions. But with Dominic's arm around her shoulders, she was beginning to wonder why she had not wanted this sooner.

She raised an eyebrow at what he said, shaking her head. She wasn't sure if she really wanted to know what he was going to say, so it was better left unanswered. "Well, I suppose if you're sure it would be alright with your roommates..." The thought brought a strange twist in her stomach. Since she had never been with another boy before she had never done anything of the intimate nature. She knew (or more heard) that boys only had one thing on their mind...could that be true for Dominic as well?

Now wasn't the time to think of such things. She rolled her eyes but laughed. "Oh, certainly not my dear! You are far from being a fool." She grinned up at him before staring back out at the path in front of them, leaning into his arm a little. "But there is the matter of the stairs to think about you know. Unless you know the spell to make them not turn into a slide?"

"Should be," He had answered with ease. Dominic was smart, quick thinker and adapt at reading others, when he wanted to be that was.

Currently though, he was simply lulling in the warm, gentle breeze that ruffled his hair, the companionship of the small Witch beside him.

Just being happy. There was no need for critical thinking, manipulation right now.

Dominic did not want their relationship to be like that.

Instead, he chose to continue joking, as he let out a chuckle, stride slow, unhindered with worries or concerns.

"Well, that lifts great sadness from my heart!"

He paused, and then gave a sharp shake of his head, voice falsely grave.

"Alas, I have yet to discover such a magical spell. " He said this with flare, and quickly tacked on further words, his voice slipping back into its normal tone.

"To be honest, I forgot about the slide."
