Because despite many previous animosities towards the ancient man, dominic did learn one thing in his time here at hogwarts: Kazimeriz actually knew a lot and wanted to share it, if you would just give him the chance to listen.
Sample his potion after class? No, he didn't particularly fancy trying manufactured love. Nor the real thing. Because even faux love hurt; even if it wasn't really love and just infatuation, because really dominic still had no idea what it was that he felt over the ravenclaw quidditch captain, then it still hurt to see her expression ... Her forest green eyes ... To tell him to have a nice life. And truthfully, dominic never wanted to see hurt like that again. Especially not in the eyes of someone he thought he cared about. Gulping quietly, he looked back at miranda again. so innocent ... So pure ... So untouched by the dangers of human emotion... Wasn't she?
dominic paused in his thoughts as he glanced away from the fourth year, up at the potions master, who concluded with a question. He didn't experience the potion, so he couldn't answer... At least not the first part of the question. "love potions, like you said, are dangerous... But so is love, so i don't think it is ever acceptable to use it on anyone. Not even for revenge. Because it messes with matters of the heart, which can create wounds that are difficult to heal. Sometimes though, you only ever can over a broken heart though, when you've found someone else who is of equal or more significance." the seventh year spoke after raising his hand; because it was then that head boy had spoken.
the head boy had spoken, and even as he'd said the last few words, somehow his golden eyes felt pulled towards one object... One person, to be precise, which in the smallest of hints, dominic smiled, without even truly realizing it.
And then miranda seemed to notice their hands, apologizing and letting go of his, to which dominic blinked at this sudden change. "no. Don't apologize... It's... Okay..." he gave her a small smile again, as he reached for her hand again. Was it wrong? Maybe... But truthfully, he didn't care because he did only have a few short weeks left of this.
"it's not done yet. It needs that swan blood or something, which we'll need to get to finish my potion up after class." because the class was continuing now, yes?
"Hmmm?" Miranda looked up at Dominic after being lost in the land of searching for that bottle. She thought he had said something to her, but soon noticed he was actually answering a question. A question? Oh, she had totally missed the Professors...eh, question. Biting her lip, she looked down, hoping he hadn't notice the embarrassement. Well, he was indeed on the right track. Love potions were not only dangerous but STUPID. She still couldn't believe the things people were doing around her.
Bleeeeh.
It did get her total attention when Dominic seemed to be speaking...from the heart. And then it dawned on her that she had not really known what had happened with him and Willow, the meanie Ravvie (Raving if you asked her, she still didn't forget how Willow had broken her bracelet) Captain. Should she ask? A friend should be there for the ones she cared for. This must extra annoying for him, Miranda assumed they hadn't ended it well.
But now, he WAS talking to her, and looking up she saw Dominic smiling. Returning the smile big, it faltered slightly as she wondered if maybe he had remembered something about the captain. Well, no matter. Shrugging it off, she did however notice his slightly outstretched hand. It didn't register to her how unusual this was, he
was her PIC and teammate and... She took his hand, sort of swinging it between them in a playful friend skipping about way. Because that's what they were, friends. Right? But then her eyes locked onto his and that persistent blushing came back. Or maybe it never left. Why was he looking at her that way? Momentarily, Miranda looked away, feeling rather unsure of herself.
Huh? Blood? "Uhm..." she swallowed, looking up at Dominic again.
"I can...go get it for you..." she said, still holding his hand, not moving, not looking away from him and with that weird feeling in her stomach.
