Victoire succumbed to the kiss, taking her hand to run through his raven black hair. She sensed something different in that last kiss, something that held more of an electric charge, more passion. "I think you're the one that's too kind," Victoire laughed softly as she twirled a lock of his hair around her finger. "I would have never imagined that a Tuck would go for a Weasley. It's almost against the laws of nature." She smirked at her own statement.

"I could say the same for you," Victoire smiled softly, finding it hard not to get lost in his blue-eyed gaze. "My family... well, you probably already know about them." She couldn't help but laugh; it seemed everyone in the wizarding world knew the story of her famous uncle, Harry Potter, and the dark wizard that he had defeated. Her aunt Hermione and uncle Ron had also become quite the superstars once the world had discovered what a helping hand that they had given to Harry. Victoire was grateful to only be a niece of the trio and not a member of their immediate families. She remember how hard it had been for Rose and Al when they had first arrived at Hogwarts, people poking and prodding as if they were artifacts in a museum. Victoire had gotten her fair share of badgering about her famed relatives as well, but definitely not to the same degree that her cousins had.

"My parents aren't exactly too partial towards those connected with Slytherin, with everything that happened during the war, but I think I could get my mother to change her mind about this. I'm sure she'd love you. But as for my dad, I don't think he'd take to the idea of us dating. It would take some help from my mum, but I think he would eventually learn to accept it. Besides, he would be one to talk; he's not exactly pure wizard himself." She laughed darkly, remembering having been told the story of how her father had been viciously attacked by a werewolf.

Meg laughed. "Agreed." she said holding up some more blue ones up to herself. "You know what... I might actually be tired of blue. Baby blue, royal blue, dark blue... It seems like the only thing I own is blue. Let's switch." she said looking over to Aly and her green dress.

Rose shrugged. "Well you have all year right now. Unless you're planning on leaving during the school year." she said. She took a sip of her water. "Or you don't have to. It was just a suggestion. I mean... kinda like after breaking up with someone you center and find out who you are." she said with a shrug. "If I were to ask you who you are what would you say?"

"Still," Victoire couldn't help but laugh as well. She could just imagine her father, Bill Weasley, face-to-face with Matt Tuck. Now that would be a sight to see. "I think I could get him to loosen up. It would all work out." A little pang of homesickness struck her at that moment; she usually tried not to think of Shell Cottage while she was at school, but it was hard to not imagine that she was back near the sea. Sighing, Victoire tried to push the nostalgic thoughts of home away for the moment. "But hosnestly, I'd be a bit more scared for Rose. If and when she and Kyle ever got together officially, I'm not sure how my uncle and aunt would react. They're completely anti-Slytherin, through and through. I wouldn't be surprised if they locked Rose away in a dungeon to keep her away from Kyle." She frowned; so many people of the previous generation had ridiculous stereotypes floating around in their memories. The stereotypes had been justifiable in the past, but now they were almost seen to be unfounded truths.

Matt nodded. "So I've heard." He replied, once again, running his fingers up and down her side. "Don't worry about it. Something tells me that those two aren't getting together any time soon." He frowned a little and yawned lazily. "On a lighter note, it turns out we've already got a full tour schedual lined up, starting the last day of the year. All of the US first, then Canada. Then it's back to europe for a while, and from what I hear, Japan." He smiled excitedly andsighed. "Mum sent us an owl last night and Kyle told me over breakfast."

Kyle frowned a little, not know how to answer. "Honestly, I've got no idea how to answer that question." He said thoughtfully. "I'm a musician and an artist? A person who cares more about the welfare of other people then his own? I dunno." He started, stil not knowing what to say. "By honestly, how many seventeen year olds can answer that?"

Victoire frowned, knowing that he spoke the truth. Only Merlin knew what would happen between Rose and Kyle. "Really?" Victoire smiled, "That's amazing! I-" She paused, the corners of her upturned lips falling a bit, "Wait... how long are you going to be gone?" Her joy had immediately melted away as she thought of Matt being away for so long. This was something that he loved to do, wanted to make a living out of, and she supported him all the way. But she knew, beginning on the first day of the tour, that she would have a long, hard road ahead of her; at least, until the tour was over.

Rose shrugged. "I guess you're right." she said. "But most have a pretty good idea. Like me... I loathe transfiguration but live for charms. I never want to be an auror. Bunnies are my favorite animal. And unicorns are my favorite magical animal. I'd do anything for my family. And I'm terrified of something happening that would cause me to see a threstal. Let's see... I think my goal in life is to have a kid just like me. I want to do something that helps others. But not in the typically way. I want to help people that noone would normally think to help. Like going to talk to muggle families about Hogwarts."

Alyss glanced over and nodded. "I know what you mean. I do have a lot of green and to be completely honest I actually did like how I looked in my masquerade dress. It wasn't green but I loved it," she replied as she handed over the green dress in her hand. Seriously, who would have ever thought a Slytherin would like being in a red dress. Blue was one thing but red was not Slytherin of her at all. Picking up a blue dress, she held it to herself. "You know, maybe she should switch." she smirked a little. "It would confuse some people."

Matt caught her faltering smile, and couldn't blame her in the least. "A year... Maybe two." He said sadly. It tore him apart to admit that he'd be gone away from her for so long, and that there was nothing he could do about it, short of quit the band he fronted. "I know, it seems long. But we can apparate to each other whenever. My hotel room will always be open. And I'll be home for holidays and birthdays." His own smile faded, finally coming to the realization that two years was too long. "I know this isn't the life you want. And I fully understand if you chose not to do this anymore. It's hard. Just... Don't give up on me yet."

Kyle listened to her speaking and smiled a little. Beautiful, smart, and a helping hand. "Personally, I think that sounds like a great idea. Maybe then they wouldn't hold their muggle borns back, or send them to asylums. I've heard of that happening." He frowned a little and took another sip from his water. "It's great that you want to help people. And that you already know what you want out of life. I wish I could say the same."

Victoire took his hand in hers, forcing herself to fix her withering smile, "I don't intend to give up, ever. I've never been with anyone that I know I won't see for extended periods of time, so it's just new to me." Although she tried to smile on the outside, her stomach was twisting into knots. She knew that the time for them to part would be coming soon, and she had a feeling that saying goodbye might be one of the hardest things that she would have to do. But knowing that she could apparate when she pleased made her feel better, if only a little bit. "But you have to promise me this," Victoire's half-smile turned into a full smirk, "Promise me you won't go hanging around those trampy groupies?"

OOC: Welcome darlin'! Jump on in whenever. :)

Al had finished his shopping hours ago, and the twins little gig didn't do over so well. He'd been left with a group of crazed fan-girls asking him when they'd be back. And to be honest, he didn't think they would be. Eventually, the bar owner kicked the under-agers out and resumed business as usual, which also left Al wandering about the village with neither cousin. Vic had gone off after Matt, and Rose seemingly went with Kyle. A good turn of events there, he thought. Rose might have finally warmed up to the shyer twin. He looked at his watch and smiled. It was about time to leave, and attend his date with Alyss. He finished off his drink and left the bar, heading towards the place they'd chosen. But she was nowhere in sight. Al forwned a little and looked around, still not seeing her. He took a seat on a bench and waited. Perhapse she was just running behind with her shopping...

"Like I've said before, you're too good to me," Victoire smiled, leaning forward once more as she gave him another sweet kiss. She would definitely miss these when the time came for him to leave. She would possibly be jealous knowing that he would be on stage in front of countless adoring fangirls, all vying for his attention. But in her heart, she knew that Matt would never cheat on her. His words oozed honesty, and she soaked them up like a sponge.

Victoire gladly, wordlessly consented to Matt's suggestion. Why dwell on the future when it was better to live in the present? She crushed her lips against his, her hands reaching up to entwine around his long raven hair. That had always been something that Victoire had found attractive in men: long hair. As a friend had put it before, it had always been nice to have something to hold onto. Victoire had felt the lust in his kiss and her heart simultaneously thumping faster, causing the color to rush into her cheeks and turn them a shade of rosy red. So mother had always been right after all: being in love made one's blood boil.

Victoire felt Matt pull himself closer, their bodies pressed together as close as could possibly be. Her mind seemed to whirl at the speed that her heart was pumping. Was she going to do this; was she ready to do this? Her mind said yes and her heart did the same. If this had been her first time, she knew she would have hesitated. But now, her mind set was different; She wasn't a scared little girl, she was an independent young woman. Victoire momentarily pulled her lips away from his, taking a quick breath to try to calm her thumping heart.

Meg laughed as she took the green dress and held it up to herself. "You know... I was thinking... I've always wanted to see the Slytherin common room..." she said with a smirk. Well... if they were planning on confusing people might as well go all out, right?

Rose nodded. "Yeah." she said. "I guess. I've never really thought about it that way. I guess its kinda always been a dream that stuck with me, you know?" she said. She looked around to see where the waitress was. She was starting to get pretty hungry.

Meg vaguely looked up when someone greeted them. A little too cheerfully. Seriously, who would be happy to be here. True, it was better than being at Hogwarts, but it definitely wasn't Paris or Milan. "Oh... hi." random girl whose name escapes me. She was a Slytherin. Which meant she was pureblood. So Meg acknowledged her presence.

Alyss looked at herself in the mirror. The blue did looked nice on her. Glancing back to her best friend, she smirked. "And you know I've always wondered what the Ravenclaw Tower looked like inside." She had been up to the door and all but curiousty was getting the best of her. Besides it was just down the hall from the Gryffindor Common room as well. Oh the fun they could have with this.

Turning her head as she heard someone else approach them. That was a first, no one had ever interupted their shopping before. Turning completely, she noticed it was Ashley. She recongizined her from the common room and some classes. "Hey Ashley," she replied as she turned back to look at her reflect with another dress pressed to herself. "Just some retail therapy," she explained as she glanced at her watch. "Meg, it's getting late and I have to meet up with Al soon." She had really lost track of time and it wasn't polite of her to keep him waiting. Glancing at the storekeeper, she nodded. It looked like she would be making a rather larger purchase today after all.
