Victoire remained in silent surprise as Matt spoke the words that she inherently longed to hear. Was he a legilimens, or did he just know how to read body language? Or had some random act from Merlin caused Matt to speak those words? As he kissed her, she smiled and nodded. "I'd love nothing better," She answered, placing her hands on his shoulders. Part of her mind was screaming to run off to the portrait of the Fat Lady and go to sleep in the girls' dormitory. But her heart screamed louder than her mind to stay put, to follow Matt to wherever he might take her.

What's gotten into me? Her thoughts continued to fight. But she fought right back to supress those thoughts. Her mum had always taught her to follow her heart, and Victoire had never appreciated that advice more than now. "Where's this place that you speak of? Some well-kept Slytherin secret?" She smiled mischievously yet innocently.
