Background:
Dora Lovegood just recently returned to her home country after being in the US working for their Ministry. Dora is a half- blood witch with a bubbly personality but a short temper. She has recently been through a lot of ups and downs, but her co- worker, Silas, has seemed to give her a reason to stick around. Their "interaction" has started to bring out a new light in Dora.

ooc: This thread will give Dora a place to be with her friends and Silas. Dora's character will grow and learn more and more about herself.

Locations:

Dora's house: Inherited from a wizarding relative, Dora just recently renovated and moved into a new home. A sizeable home that reminds one of a farm house. The interior is just as bright as Dora's appearance and personality. Located inside the foyer is a talking mirror that gives out compliments or criticism... whichever is needed. Then you enter the large living room space where you see a ton of eclectic furniture in great colors and abstract shapes. There is a lovely fireplace, on the mantle there is a great collection of wizarding photgraphs. These photos range from her family to former co- workers from the US. The kitchen is very spacious and bright. One wall is nothing but windows, letting natural light spill in. The only room in the house that isn't bright and welcoming is Dora's "office"... well she practice's magic there and brews potions. Here are Dora's more personal photos and keepsakes. She keeps it locked away just like the memories.

The view from the foyer

Isabella

Belladonna

There now hangs a portrait of the former lady of the house. She crossed over but felt that Silas needed her portrait to feel better... Besides, she couldn't fully leave her children or her husband so abruptly. Over time she will stop visiting the portrait, but for now she stands waiting for her loved ones to come to her. The other portrait hangs in her niece's bedroom, hung with a permanent sticking charm.

Dora's yard:

Dora has a grand yard that back's onto an enchanted forest with tons of trails and adventures to be had. Living in a Wizarding area Dora is free to fly or do whatever else she fancies outdoors. There is also a sizeable garden which Dora maintains. It is home to magical and Muggle plants alike, there are also pixies and gnomes that roam about. In the center of the garden is a lovely golden domed gazebo with a double swing that is perfect for cozying up on.

The Lake:

Dora's property is also home to a fantastic lake that is home to all sorts of magical creatures and plants. The creatures are well behaved though, so Dora swims often when the weather is nice.

Dora instinctively snuggled into Silas as he sat down on the couch next to her. "It does sound quite nice doesn't it. Have a glass." she said as she handed him his goblet of elf made wine. "I will have to tinker with my charms so that you can apparate into the house. We still can't apparate out because we need to set the charms back up, but it is a work in progress." she explained before drinking deeply from her goblet. She stifled a yawn with the back of her hand and set her glass down on the table. Leaning over she kissed Silas lightly on his lips and smiled.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-09-2009, 03:25 AM

Silas yawned as he accepted the wine from Dora. "Thank you." Taking a sip, he closed his eyes and breathed deeply.

"The charmsj will take a little figuring for a house this size, but," Silas yawned again. "We can figure that out later."

Finishing his glass of wine, Silas looked to the bag that needed unpacking, then back to Dora. Blinking sleepily, Silas gave Dora's shoulder a little squeeze.

"I think it may be time for me to call it a night."

Erindipity · 11-09-2009, 03:42 AM

Dora yawned a huge toe curling yawn and stretched. "That sounds great actually, love. Let's go to bed." she agreed. Rising from her spot on the couch she gave her wand a quick wave and vanished the bottle and goblets. Stretching again she said, "I think I may sleep in tomorrow. A nice treat from most days, you know." She screwed up her face and hair began to cascade down her back and turn to black.

She walked zombie like up the stairs to their room... awww... their room! kicking off her shoes as she entered the room. She summoned some pajamas from her stuff and threw them on after peeling off her clothes from the day. She still had some scarring on her body, but it wasn't bad. Silas had seen all of those things when he took care of her, so she wasn't ashamed. She flitted into the bathroom, brushed her teeth and returned to the bedroom. She crawled in and pulled the covers up tight as she waited for Silas to join her. His embrace was what kept her sleep patterns so regular now!

END SCENE

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 02:21 AM

New Scene

Dora stretched and smiled as she woke. The sun was spilling through her windows and felt warm on her face. Oh! It's Valentine's Day! Grabbing her wand she began to conjure little floating red and pink hearts and sent them all about the room. She crept out of bed and went to the closet to find something appropriate for the day.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-10-2009, 02:27 AM

Silas squinted as the sun shone in the room and squeezed his eyes shut tighter, grumbling. He. was. tired.

Flopping over, oblivious to the hearts floating around and the fact that Dora had gotten up, Silas buried his face in one pillow and jammed another over his head, before letting his arms drop back to the mattress.

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 02:35 AM

Dora stifled a giggle as Silas flopped about and grumbled. Turning back to the closet she spotted the perfect dress for their evening together, but for now she grabbed a pair of dark blue jeans, a red fitted swaeter, and a red and pink scarf and hat combo. She tiptoed into the bathroom and did all of her morning stuff. In honor of the day she screwed up her face and began the metamorphing.

When she smerged from the bathroom her hiar was flowing down her back in beautiful shades of pink, red and blonde. She was decked out in her Valentine's Day attire from head to toe, literally. She quickly summoned a quill and parchment and left Silas a note

Quote:

Silas,

Ran out really quickly will return soon. Love you very much! Happy Valentine's Day!

Dora
p.s. Don't swat the hearts they will only multiply!

And with that she crept from the house.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-10-2009, 02:55 AM

Silas tossed and turned and then gave up his fight against the sun. Opening his eyes and wiping a small bit of drool from his mouth, Silas flipped over to face the ceiling.

Squinting and rubbing his eyes, Silas was puzzled as the hearts came into focus. Reaching up and swatting at one, he jerked his hand back as it burst into five. "Ok. No swatting," he said seriously.

Sitting up, he noticed a piece of parchment. "Merlin. Valentine's Day." Silas had remembered it, but he had no idea that it was going to be, um, flying hearts important to Dora.

Showering and dressing in record speed, Silas grabbed his cloak and was out the door.

Valentine's Day. Merlin.

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 03:02 AM

Dora was creeping around in the tent in the backyard making all of the proper modifications inside. She had removed the booths and in their places was a lovely dance floor and tons of twinkling lights... fairies love Valentine's Day so they were happy to help! Dora had decorated the tent with so much pink and red that it almost made her head hurt! That meant it was perfect! SHe had also made sure that it was heated to the perfect temperature for Dora's slinky dress.

She smiled to herself as she walked back to the house. Entering the back door she called up to Silas but figured he was gone when she got no anwser. She had already bought his gift. What a sneaky little thing she was. She had looked far and wide for this particular book on Astronomy. It was a first edition done by some Muggle author. It seemed the perfect thing for him! She also bought him a lovely watch. Simple, yet elegant.

She had those things tucked away safely for later though. She set off around the house looking for something to do... there wasn't much so she went back up the stairs and kicked off her boots and crawled into bed. Most of the hearts had disappeared buit a few still floated around the room. Blowing one up toward the ceiling she then let her eyes drift shut, smile still on her face.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-10-2009, 03:21 AM

After a few hours, Silas returned to the house. He'd run to the florist where he'd used to work, and managed to sweet talk his way into the back room. There, he put together his own arrangement, just as he had when he worked there. Only this time, he was taking the flowers with him.

With flowers in hand and a gift tucked in his pocket, Silas opened the front door and called into the house.

"Dora? Are you back?"

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 03:24 AM

Dora snored lightly in thier bed. She had been asleep for quite sometime and was completely oblivious to Silas' calls for her.. and the heart that was perched on her nose.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-10-2009, 03:31 AM

Hearing some sort of noise from the bedroom upstairs, Silas made his way upstairs, flowers in one hand, wand in the other.

Cautiously climbing, he made his way up and stopped as soon as he could see inside. Dora, back in bed, with a heart on her nose. Reholstering his wand, Silas crept slowly into the bedroom. Gently blowing the heart off her nose so it would multiply, Silas then knelt down next to the bed and kissed Dora's cheek.

"Happy Valentine's Day," he whispered, still clutching the flowers.

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 03:41 AM

Dora's eyes fluttered open and she smiled brightly as Silas came into view. "Happy Valentine's Day love!" she whispered back to him. Stretching a bit she sat up and as she did she noticed the flowers he held in his hand. Tearing up a bit she quietly said, "Those are lovely Silas. You have impeccable taste in flowers, love. Let's set them here on the bedside table."

She groped around on the table for her wand. Giving it a quick flick she nonverbally summoned Silas' book into the room. "This is only part of your gift love, but I thought you'd like this most of all." she said as she caught the beautifully wrapped gift and shyly handed it to him.

She snuck in a quick kiss before he opened it.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-10-2009, 04:01 AM

Smiling softly, Silas sat on the edge of the bed. Resting the flowers on the table, Silas moved to take her hand, but hesitated when she summoned a package.

Holding it in his hands, he looked down at the wrapping. "Dora," he whispered, "you didn't need to get me anything." He leaned over and kissed her before turning his attention back to the package. Pulling back a corner of the wrapping, Silas could smell the scent of a book.

Smiling broadly, he torn back the rest of the paper. Turning the book over and over in his hands, Silas looked up at Dora, appreciation written all over his face.

"This. This is amazing Dora. Thank you." Placing the book gently on the bed, Silas leaned over the cupped Dora's face with his hand. Kissing her softly, he pulled back and just smiled.

"I have something else for you too, but later."

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 04:41 PM

Dora smiled widely at Silas' obvious appreciation of the book. "I most certainly did have to get you something! Valentine's Day is for showing your love and that is what I have done." she said while stretching. SHe scooted over beside Silas and lay her head on his shoulder. "So what's on the agenda for the day love?" she asked with a grin.

Alistair Lovegood was older yes, but still very much full of life. He liked to wear bright clothing and some might describe him as hippy-ish. Fact of the matter what he loved the U.S. 60’s and 70’s attire and music. Thus many of his clothing included tie-dye, bellbottoms and converse shoes. Alistair was a bit of a goof, very lovable and kind. Even still many times people were very intimidated when they first met him. Maybe it was the wisdom in his face, or his height (6’2”) or maybe his deep booming voice, either way he found it amusing, and often used it to entertain himself.

He wanted to surprise her, she was after all his baby girl – and it was Valentine day. Dora’s mom hasn’t ever been keen on the holiday, but Alistair had always gotten something for Dora. With Dora being the baby she always held a very special place in his heart.

With an explosion of green smoke he landed via the Floo in the living room of Lovegood Lane. He stepped out of the fireplace and his large foot made an echoing sound on the flooring. He dusted himself off and glanced around the room. It was brightly decorated – Dora. He smiled deeply. There was no mistaking the styling’s of his… wait a Merlin minute – was that a man’s coat? Alistair raised his eyebrow and glanced once more around the room. The tall man raised his wand, “accio coat!” The coat sailed through the air, he caught it with his left hand and he began to inspect it. It was most certainly a man’s coat. Either Dora was in trouble, unlikely, or she had a gentlemen caller.

Knowing his daughter’s protective nature he knew she already knew someone had entered the house, he decided to call to her so to save everyone embarrassment of well whatever might happen. Holding his wand to his neck “Sonorus - Dora!” Alistair’s voice filled the entire house with a great boom. He immediatly countered spell, "Quietus"

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 09:09 PM

Oh Em Gee!!! Daddy's here!

Jumping up fromthe bed Dora spun around the room a few times and then looked to Silas with her mouth hung open. "Um, yeah so me dad's here. If I know him he has already surmised that a man is here. He misses nothing!" she said in a whisper. She ran to the full length mirror and looked at herself. No time to change clothes, got to get down there now! She took a deep breath and turned to Silas saying, "Okay love. It's apparently time to meet my daddy. Let's go." She smiled brightly and reached out for his hand.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-10-2009, 09:36 PM

Silas was about to answer Dora's question - well, as well as he could given that he had no plan - when he heard a booming voice call out Dora's name. Sliding off the bed, startled, Silas scrambled to his feet, eyes wide. "What in..." but he was cut off by Dora's expression and statement.

"Dad? Oh MERLIN," Silas whispered as he looked to Dora, panicked. The tone of her voice and her comment about her father figuring out that a man was here led him to believe that she most certainly had not mentioned his moving in. Had she even mentioned his existance?

He was... not prepared for this. Letting Dora take his hand, Silas wondered if maybe she should just let him hang back. But too late now.

Silas' stomach turned in knots as he tucked Dora's present deeper in his pocket.

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 09:44 PM

Dora smiled reassuringly at Silas before she turned to lead him down the stairs. Hopefully her dad would behave himself, but it was unlikely. He was just a big teddy bear really but quite intimidating at the same time.

As they reached the bottom of the stairs Dora released Silas' hand and ran forward to embrace her dad. "'Lo Daddy! How is mum? What are you doing here? Why didn't you send me an owl?" she shot off rapid fire as she hugged him tightly and then bounced around in front of him like a small child.

redifer · 11-10-2009, 09:57 PM

Alistair heard movement upstairs. Most certainly it was two people he thought. He also knew the master room was upstairs, Dora had a friend. This will be interesting.

Alistair threw the coat back on the arm of the chair, and waited for them to find him – as he knew they would.

He heard them stomp down the stairs and before he knew it his daughter was in his arms asking him questions. He wrapped his arms around her and squeezed tightly, all the while looking over her shoulder at the man that followed her. He couldn’t help but look him over, an older man… Alistair inspected him further as he released his daughter from the hug. “Full of questions you are,” he said breaking his gaze at the man and taking a look at his beautiful daughter. “Oh Dora you look beautiful, just like your mother” He sighed.

Practically ignoring the man and turning to his daughter he answered her questions, “Mum is doing ok, you know it’s day to day with her.” He sighed and took stepped closer to her, “I came here to give you your valentine’s gift – like I always do.” He was slightly put off that she wasn’t expecting him, he always visited on Valentines Day, but she wasn’t a little girl anymore he reminded himself. He handed her a gift wrapped box that contained a vibrantly colored necklace.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-10-2009, 10:01 PM

Silas could feel the man's eyes on him despite the fact that he was embracing Dora. He couldn't help but feel a bit.. exposed. But, he did what he always did. He looked ahead, ready to make eye contact if the man so chose. Silas was not backing down.

Silas released the tension in his shoulders as Dora's father looked away. But not in his hand, which clenched the banister nervously.

Always visited on Valentine's Day? How could she not have warned him!

Silas stood against the stairs awaiting... well, he didn't know what. He didn't want to step forward and introduce himself, especially if the man had no idea who he was. He would just... wait.

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 10:04 PM

Dora winced slightly at the mention of her mum's health, it must be getting worse she thought. But smiling at her dad she said, "Oh, thank you for coming daddy. Tell mum I love her and will get there to visit her soon." Grabbing the box and ripping the paper to shreds she pulled the necklace from the box and got a bit misty eyed again and said, "Oh Daddy. It's- it's just perfect!" SHe hugged him again and then took a deep breath.

Turning toward Silas and outstretched her hand. Turning her face back to her dad she said, "I want you to meet Silas, daddy. He's my boyfriend." Baby steps! He didn't need to know that he was living there just yet. "Be nice!" she whispered to him with a wink before turning back to Silas and smiling reassuringly.

redifer · 11-10-2009, 10:09 PM

"I'm glad you like it dear." He gave her a very fatherly smile. And then the dreaded moment happen, she introduced him to the man. He laughed inwardly at her wish, be nice..

Alistair approached the man, outstretched his hand and greated him. "I'm Alistair. Nice to meet you Silas." Alistair squeezed slightly on Sila's hand, as protective father's do. Dropping the handshake he heard Dora's speak again, "Ahh, boyfriend. So how long have you been dating?"

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-10-2009, 10:11 PM

Silas stepped forward slightly as Dora gestured to him. Grasping the man's hand, he recognized immediately the firmness meant to communicate exactly what would happen if he dared hurt Dora.

"Pleasure, sir," Silas said deferentially. His hand released, Silas stepped closer to Dora, but dared not touch her in the man's presence.

Seriously. That would just be stupid.

Erindipity · 11-10-2009, 10:23 PM

Dora watched and waited to make sure her daddy would be nice. She reached over and gave Silas' hand a little squeeze after there exchange. She smiled impishly at him and slightly shrugged her shoulders trying to say she was sorry. She had been so wrapped up in making the perfect day for Silas that she had forgotten about it.

Her head did snap up when her dad asked how long they had been dating... Clearing her throat she said, very confidently, "We have been together for about six months now daddy. Silas took care of me when Magorian attacked me. I told you I had someone looking after me. This is the someone." She shot Silas a smile and a wink.

redifer · 11-10-2009, 10:30 PM

Alistair noticed that he had gotten the attention from the man he wanted. Dora was his baby, no matter how old she was... Mmm, old, he eyed Silas again, how old was he. “Ah, yes. Thank you Silas for looking after her. She’s very special” Knowing that helped Alistair relax a little bit, but for anyone who has had a baby girl knows it’s not that easy.

"Oh let me sit down Dora, you know I'm an old man." He sat down in the largest, most thrown-like chair he could. Alistair was having too much fun with this, and thought it would be fun to scare the man a little more, "Dora sweetie, do you have any firewhiskey? I'd like to have a drink if you have any" He looked at Silas with a raised eye-brow when he said this, he was hoping to get a moment alone with Silas.
