Gaston smiled, gazing adoringly back at the woman he loved. Rose's kind words and concern for him were making him fall even deeper in love with her, if that was even possible! He smiled, shaking his head gently at what she said. "No fear I have could ever be more important than my love for you," he whispered. Didn't she understand? He didn't regret what he'd done for her; he'd do it all over again if he had the chance. He loved her a thousand times more than he hated fire, and that was really saying something! His smile grew wider as he saw Rose start to smile a little too. At least she seemed a little less worried about him now!

Gaston's eyes lingered on Rose as she opened the box that contained his citizenship application. His nervousness mounted as he awaited her reaction, and he had to hold his hands behind his back to hide their violent trembling. He wasn't sure exactly what he was expecting. Tears? Hugs, maybe? Anything but this! The shock in Rose's voice as she spoke tore at his heart. It was almost as if she'd expected him to leave her behind. "Of course I decided to stay," he said. "I think I always knew I wouldn't be on that tour..."

The thought of being in a strange place thousands of mile away from the love of his life crept into the back of his mind, and a sudden wave of sadness crashed over him. "What good would a life of fame and fortune be without anyone to share it with? All the adoring fans in the world could never take the place of my Rose..." He sighed as his voice trailed off. His emotions were starting to get the better of him. After a pause, he forced himself on, "They say 'home is where the heart is'; well, my heart is wherever you are. If I were to leave you behind, I'd leave behind everything good and right in my life..."

Gaston's voice suddenly broke, and he had to bite his lip hard to stop it from quivering. Without another word, he pulled Rose close and hugged her for a minute as he battled his whirlwind emotions. Holding her made him feel calmer, and soon he found his voice again. "Oh, ma belle Rose, you have no idea how much you mean to me..." he whispered. Tears glistened in his blue eyes, but he still smiled lovingly. "You've made me happier than I ever thought possible - and Merlin knows much more than I deserve! I know we haven't known each other long, but I knew from the moment I first saw you that I would love you forever and..."

He suddenly dropped to his knees and took her hand in his own, pressing it gently to his lips. With his free hand, he reached into his jacket pocket for a small black box and lifted the lid. Inside was a silver ring with a purple stone surrounded by diamonds. "Rosalyn Newton, will you marry me?" he asked, though he was sure his voice was barely audible over the pounding of his own heart. A few silent tears escaped as he gazed pleadingly up at the woman who now held the power to uplift or destroy him with a single word. Please say yes...

Despite Gaston's reassurance that everything was okay, Rosalyn couldn't help but to feel slightly bad still. She knew all about his fear of fire and how it had come about. Still, she knew that he wouldn't lie to her about this. That made her feel relieved. "Okay, but I still don't like you having to do that. We can have a rule about not lighting birthday cakes." That way he wouldn't be terrified, and she wouldn't feel bad for him being terrified; it would be win win for the both of them.

Her eyes glanced back at the paper momentarily, looking at it again. "I know how much your band means to you and of course I would have understood if you decided to go with them..." Of course Rosalyn was beyond happy that he had decided to stay, but she would have felt bad if she had made him feel that he HAD to. Instead he had made that decision on his own. "What will all your fangirls think when they don't see you on tour?" Of course that was a joke, and she had to smile. And then she felt that there were tears in her eyes at what he said next. "Oh Gaston. I feel the same way and I am so very glad that you are staying." She would have missed him terribly if he had gone on that tour though of course she would have supported him like always.

Suddenly he was hugging her again, and she smiled as she held him close. "I know because you do a great job of showing it to me and really it is more than I deserve." He said that he didn't deserve her, but really it was the other way around. It amazed her how anyone could ever treat Gaston the way that they had. People didn't understand how sensitive that he was. And that all he really wanted to do was be a good person and make people happy. Well, she had more than enough love to make up for all the hurt that he had suffered. "I know, and..."

Before she could finish her thought, he was down on his knee and there was a box being held out for her.

...

Rosalyn froze for a moment, not sure what to do or to think. This was all so sudden and the last thing that she had expected to happen. Within moments she had gotten a grip on herself, and then she was crying for real due to happiness. "Of course I will."

Rose seemed a little less worried now, which eased Gaston's mind a little. Truth be told, his current state had nothing to do with the fire. Granted, the candle had made him nervous, but he was already out of his mind with worry long before he lit that candle. Rose's words got a slight laugh from him, not that he was laughing at her, of course. He laughed because he was relieved that she wasn't worried or hurt because of him. "Alright, if you insist," he said. He didn't like the idea, but he would go along with it... at least for now. They might have to change that rule later on. For one fleeting moment, he imagined a child, their child, blowing out birthday candles, and the thought made him smile.

His smile grew even wider at what Rose said next. He knew she would've understood... which was more than he could say for his bandmates. Ed and Lucien thought he was crazy for staying behind! He didn't regret his decision, though. Not one bit! "Oh, Rose, I could never leave you," he whispered. Just the thought was breaking his heart, but before he could think too much on it,Rose's mention of fangirls made him laugh. "I think they'll survive without me!"

Then the conversation went in a more emotional direction. Rose was saying that he did a good job showing her how much he loved her and that she didn't deserve him, but he disagreed on both counts. Everything he'd done for her seemed small because there were no words or actions that could fully express his love for her! Her kind words fanned the flames of his already heightened emotions, and he silently shook his head in reply, too overwhelmed to do anything else.

For several moments, the only sound Gaston could hear was his heart hammering against his chest. What if Rose said no? What if she thought it was too soon? What if that cad who broke her heart in the past had turned her off of marriage? The longer he waited, the more worried he became, and then... She said yes! All the fear he'd felt vanished and left only joy and pure love in his heart. He slipped the ring on her finger and stood. Rose had begun to cry, and he held her, gently wiping her tears while ignoring his own. He wished there was something he could say, but he was afraid he'd sob with happiness if he tried!

There was so much that was happening right now and it was rather overwhelming, but that was okay. It was the good kind, and Rosalyn was having a hard time putting how she felt into words; that was often the case, however, and was just the way she was as a person. Gaston did help her feel more in touch with emotions, though of course she still didn't feel them as strongly as he did. That was no matter because he knew that she loved him just as much as he loved her.

She smiled as he wiped her tears away. "I've made you cry too, but I know it's the good kind of tears." The same kind that she had. Rosalyn glanced down at the ring on her finger. "This is one of the best days I've ever had and I know that you would never hurt me." It had taken a lot for her to get to the point where she could trust someone with her heart after what had happened with her ex-fiancé. Those had been some of the darkest days that she had ever experienced.

Gaston was too overcome with emotion to speak or even move. For several moments, all he could do was hold Rose close, his head turned aside so his tears wouldn't drip on her. She had no idea how dark and lonely his life had been before she came into it! He'd come close to this moment a few times in the past, only to have it yanked away from him, and had all but given up hope of ever finding love when he found her. Now those days were behind him, and his heart was so full of love and joy that it ached.

He sniffled, wiping his eyes as he released his hold on Rose. " The bestkind," he said when he finally found his voice. He couldn't stop smiling as he gazed into her kind brown eyes. Then Rose voiced exactly what he was thinking. "I know... I feel the same way." His expression changed slightly at her next words. "No, never," he promised. "I would die before I let any harm come to you, and..." His voice trailed off as his thoughts puts an his words, so he told her the only other way he could - by pulling her close and giving her a kiss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scene three May 2092: The creature in the portal at Hogwarts may be gone, but Gaston still has his own personal monsters to contend with.

It had been a long, emotionally draining day! Gaston tried to convince himself that the monster in the portal was really gone, but he still sat awake late into the night, afraid to close his eyes for fear he'd see it. Eventually his head slumped forward, and he fell into a restless doze. Suddenly there was a deafening screech... a flash of sharp teeth... wings that blocked out the sun... and fire, fire everywhere. And his beloved Rose...

The next thing he knew, Gaston was standing outside her office door. He had no idea what time it was, but he knew it must be very late at night. He was secretly glad for the ungodly hour, as it meant there would be no students roaming the halls to see him in his sorry state... dressed in a black t-shirt and pajama pants, his hair a disheveled mess, his eyes red-rimmed and panic-stricken.

He took a deep breath as he forced himself to knock. He hoped Rose wouldn't be too annoyed with him for disturbing her. He just had to see that she was alright!

To say that Rosalyn was having a bad night's sleep was an understatement. In fact, she hadn't gotten any rest at all, instead tossing and turning and constantly thinking about the fact that if she had done her job correctly in the first place, those two boys wouldn't have been dragged off by the monster. If only she and Kay hadn't gone around that corner...

With a sigh, she rolled over onto her side and tried to get comfortable. Before she could do much else there was a knock on the door. That was very strange given this time of night, and she wondered what it could be about. Surely something else hadn't happened?? With that thought, she quickly got up and made her way over to the door while mentally crossing her fingers.

"Gaston! Are you okay? Has something else happened?" Rosalyn was worried given his appearance!

Gaston's heart hammered against his chest as he waited outside the door. It had only been a few seconds, but it felt like he'd been standing out there for a lifetime! The longer he waited, the more he panicked. His nightmare couldn't have come true. It just couldn't! She had to be alright!

Just when he thought he'd break down the door (a task made a lot harder since he left his wand back in his office) if he had to wait one more moment, Rose appeared. Seeing her safe and sound made him want to cry! He took one look at her before wrapping his arms around her. "Rose..." he barely manged to choke out her name. "It - it came back and everything was on fire and you..." He said all this very fast, then his voice suddenly broke. He couldn't bring himself to say the word died, so he looked up and allowed the raw anguish in his eyes to finish that sentence for him.

He heaved a shuddery sigh that sounded a lot like a sob. "Never mind,
it was just a dream,"
he said once he'd calmed down a bit. "It's okay... I'll be okay." Well, "okay" was stretching it a bit, but he didn't want to worry Rose more than he probably already had.

Gaston was scaring her, and it was making Rosalyn feel worse about everything. She knew that he couldn't help it, but seeing him so distressed made HER distressed, and this was on top of fretting she had been doing over the monster dragging off two boys. It was all her fault...

"Fire?!" Rosalyn's eyes widened, and her heart hammered so that she felt it might bust. And then he explained that it had only been a dream. Huuuuuge sigh of relief. "No. No, I'm fine. Everything is fine. The monster is gone and won't ever come back." Miffy and Storm had made sure of that by entering the portal. Once it had been closed, it could never be opened again. Or so she hoped. "You're not okay. Come inside." Taking his hand, she led him inside her office.

Or so she hoped. "You're not okay. Come inside." Taking his hand, she led him inside her office.
The sight of Rose's widening eyes made Gaston's already heavy heart sink even further. The angry voice in the back of his mind that had been berating him for not doing more to fight the monster now ripped him apart for worrying her. Some fiance you are! You're supposed to be comforting her, NOT the other way around! He nodded, trying to force a smile as Rose assured him that the monster from the portal was gone forever, but his lip wobbled and fell. She had no idea! The monster in the portal wasn't the only one on his mind...

He didn't even try to protest as Rose took his hand and led him into her office. He didn't want to ever let go of her hand. He was afraid it would come back and take her from him if he did, just like... He closed his eyes against the memory, but it did nothing to stop it from replaying in his mind. several moments passed before he could force himself to look into Rose's eyes.
"Rose... I-I'm so sorry I frightened you!" he said, his voice sounding hoarse and sad. He realized he was still holding her hand and gave it a little kiss. "I just had to make sure you were alright..."

The lump in his throat and tightness in his chest were becoming impossible to ignore, but he forced himself on. "I was so afraid you'd d-" His voice caught as once again, he couldn't bring himself to say the D word. "-that the monster was going to k-" No, that was even worse! He sighed, running a hand through his hair. This was a lot harder than he thought! "- that only one of us would come back alive yesterday."

Memories of breaking glass, a burning landscape, and blank staring eyes haunted him, and he instinctively pulled Rose close. "Oh, Rose, I can't lose you too..." he whispered, so overwhelmed with emotion that he didn't realize what he just said.

Normally when someone came inside her office, Rosalyn asked them if they wanted to take a seat, but she knew that there was no way that Gaston would do that right now given his current state. Instead she gently squeezed his hand as he continued to speak. "It's okay, Gaston. I understand. I'd have reacted the same way if I had thought that something had happened to you." Merlin she hoped that never happened! She had been worried enough that the monster might eat him! And then he went along and voiced her very thoughts. That brought tears to her eyes. "I worried about the exact same thing. I thought that it would eat you." So she knew exactly how he had felt.

Rosalyn put her arms around him as he pulled her close. "Lose me too? What do you mean?" Now she was more confused than ever.

Gaston gave Rose a look of gratitude as she squeezed his hand. The gesture comforted him and made it a little easier to tell her what was on his mind, though it couldn't quite make the bad memories go away. He nodded at her words, his throat too tight to speak. He knew she'd understand, but he still felt horrible for scaring her! Then he saw tears in her eyes and felt even worse. One look at her was all it took to make the tears spring to his own eyes. There was no way around it. If she cried, he cried with her.

"Oh, Rose..." he choked out once he'd found his voice. "It's okay... We're both safe-" His voice broke, and all he could do was silently gaze into her eyes for a few moments. "No matter what happens to me, I promise I'll never, ever leave you." Not even in death. He was sure that if he died, he'd come back as a ghost to look after her.

He felt her arms around him and held her even tighter. As long as she was in his arms, nothing bad could happen to her! It was eventually Rose's questions that jerked him out of his thoughts, and he finally realized the implications of what he'd just said. He sighed sadly. A part of him always knew he'd have to tell her this story one day, but he never imagined it would be now. "I'm afraid that's a rather long story," he said. "Maybe we should sit down..."

The thought of reliving that nightmare had him feeling weak and faint, and he all but collapsed into the nearest chair, noticeably trembling. He didn't know how he was going to get through that story! The last time he told it, he cried so much that he had to be given a calming draught. Still, he wouldn't hide the truth from her just because it was painful. He took a deep breath. "Her name was Eleanore Baudelaire. She was the last girlfriend I had before I met you. I loved her, but she... died."

Within seconds of squeezing his hand, Rosalyn could see Gaston start to calm down a little; she had expected it to help, but also enjoyed the contact with him that it gave her. Words would come soon enough, but the tears came first. "I'm sorry," she said wiping her eyes. The only reason why he had started was because SHE had, and so she was trying her best to stop despite the fact that her emotions were a bit of a whirlwind right now; there was a combination of guilt over what had happened to the boys and worry about him, but she was going to get a grip over herself so that he would feel better. Seeing him sad made her feel even worse.

"Yes, we ARE and it's okay. I'm not going to cry anymore." So he didn't need to feel bad about that on top of everything else; not anymore. "I know, and I promise that I won't ever leave you either." Rosalyn gave a small smile as she once again wiped her cheek. There would be no more tears falling. It made her feel SO much better just to know that he would never abandon her; not that there had been any doubts before, but reassurance was always nice - especially given her current state of mind.

Nodding, she lowered herself into the chair nearest his and put her hand on his leg reassuringly. Rosalyn could feel how much he was trembling and felt more confused than ever until Gaston went on to explain what was wrong. It was worse than Rosalyn could ever imagine. "Oh, I'm so sorry Gaston! Now I understand everything... I promise you that won't happen to me." She wasn't going anywhere.

Gaston was at a loss. Seeing his beloved Rose cry hurt him worse than the bad memories that had been haunting him since he saw that monster slither out of the portal! He wanted to assure her that everything would be alright, but he couldn't talk. He was afraid he'd burst into tears himself if he tried! Instead, he held her close, his head turned to one side in an attempt to hide the tears in his eyes. But when she spoke. he knew she'd already seen and he silently berated himself for making her feel worse. "Oh, ma belle, there's no need to be sorry," he whispered. "You never have to hide your feelings around me, no matter what effect it has on me." It was something that had been demanded of him all his life; there was no way he could expect the same of her!

He reached up to dry her tears, but she was already doing that herself, so he brushed a stray lock of hair away from her face instead. A fresh pang of sadness gripped his heart at her next words. He knew she would never willingly leave him, but she couldn't promise something like that. There was no telling what the future held for them. Eleanore had once promised him the same thing, and look what happened to her! He nodded in reply, too overwhelmed with emotion to speak, and managed a faltering smile.

Gaston was glad he'd decided to sit down to tell this story. He was reliving the darkest days of his past, and it took a lot out of him. He was sure he would've fainted if he'd tried to remain standing, and he didn't want Rose to see him like that and worry. He felt her hand on his leg and rested a hand atop hers. the touch comforted him a little, but he shook his head sadly at her words. "Not quite everything..." he said. He knew she wanted to understand, but there was one key detail she was missing.

Alright, the moment of truth. There was no backing out now... He swallowed hard and set his jaw, willing himself not to break down sobbing like the only other time he'd told this story. "It was five years ago... there was an incident at Beaubatons," he began. He didn't know how far the news of the dragon attack had spread at the time. Maybe she already knew which incident he was referring to, but just in case... "The Creatures professor thought it would be a brilliant idea to teach a lesson with an actual dragon..." his voice dripped with venom as his thoughts turned to the arrogant man who'd caused his lost love's death.

"Ellie was his assistant... she was so excited for the lesson, but everything went wrong. The dragon escaped, and..." He sniffled. "... she died protecting her students." His voice trailed off in a half-stifled sob. At some point during the story, the tears he'd been fighting back finally spilled from his eyes, but he hadn't felt them falling until just now. He wiped his eyes with the hand that wasn't holding Rose's, desperately trying to regain his composure, but there was no stopping now. All he could do was allow himself to cry quietly as he waited for Rose's reaction.

Rosalyn nodded and gave Gaston a small smile. "I know, and you don't need to hide yours from me either." Something that she was sure he wanted to do from time to time - like now when she was sure that he was trying hard to keep her from seeing that he was crying. "You need to stop crying too," she said as she hugged him. Because she was already done shedding tears and he needed to do the same as her! Hopefully everything would be easier now that they were sitting down and would be talking about things further; getting feelings out always made things better in the end even if it could be hard in the present.

"I'd heard about that, but I had no idea that she was your girlfriend." Now so many things made sense. "I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, Gaston." Rosalyn was really sad now. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze, not sure what else to say. What COULD she say?

Gaston nodded in reply to Rose's words and managed to return her smile with a sad shaky one of his own. He knew she would never expect him to hide his emotions, but he couldn't stand upsetting her like this! He was a little surprised when she told him he needed to stop crying, but he knew the words were meant to be comforting, not like when his father told him the exact same thing. The hug calmed him down, and he was able to blink back the last few tears and look back at her. "I'm Sorry, force of habit," he said. "I just can't stand seeing someone I love in pain..."

He knew the relative calm wouldn't last long however. Telling Rose about the dragon attack opened up all the old wounds and made him cry all over again. Too many memories, too many emotions to keep inside anymore... He wasn't sure how he expected Rose to react, but he wasn't expecting this. She was strangely calm, almost as if she was in shock. Then she was talking to him, trying to comfort him, but he could only manage a weak sniffle in reply as he squeezed her hand back, holding on for dear life.

Tears still falling, he continued his story, "I-I was teaching a class at the time. I had n-no idea anything was wrong until... One boy said he saw f-fire outside. I thought it was a prank... Then I actually saw the d-dragon, just as it broke all the windows in the classroom..." He shuddered at the memory of the deafening sound of the dragon's roar and shattering glass. "Professor Evremonde and I g-got everyone to safety. There was a group of teachers going to fight the dragon. I w-wanted to go, but he convinced me t-to stay with our students. They were s-so scared, I couldn't leave them..." He could still see their frightened faces clearly in his mind, still hear them begging him not to leave them behind

"It was hours b-before we were allowed to leave, and... w-when I finally found Ellie s-she was already..." His voice dissolved into bitter sobs, and he clung to Rose's hand as if it were his only comfort left.

Not being able to stand seeing anyone in pain was one of Gaston's best qualities, and something that Rosalyn loved a lot about him. "We are the same way when it comes to that." It made her feel awful too, and that was why she didn't want to see him crying anymore; that just made her feel worse than she already did; they were going to be stuck in this circle of constantly crying for each other at this rate and that was something that should be avoided.

As Gaston talked, Rosalyn kept squeezing his hand, feeling worse and worse about what had happened. It was a horrible tragedy that had cost someone their life and left a hole in his heart. "You did the right thing in staying with the children. You had no idea that something would have happened to her, and you were protecting your students from harm. If you and the other professor hadn't gotten them to safety, who knows what could have happened to them." Right now she wanted to cry, but she was keeping herself from doing so for him... Mostly she just didn't want him feeling that everything that had happened to Ellie was his fault when it wasn't.

Gaston smiled a little at Rose's words. He knew she hated seeing others in pain just as much as he did, and that compassion was why he fell so madly in love with her! "I know," he whispered, giving her hand a little kiss. What a pair they were! When one of them was sad, the other got sad too. He silently berated himself for upsetting her, but at least she seemed better now. He tried to keep up the calm facade, but his smile was already fading. He knew that once he launched into the story about the dragon attack, it was only a matter of time before he made her sad again.

He had no idea how long he'd been crying. For a while, all he could do was hold tight to her hand - so tight that he was surprised he didn't break it in half - as his entire body shook with sobs. Her touch was the only thing keeping him from getting swallowed up by the sadness, fear, and overwhelming guilt that the memories of that day brought. As long as he held her hand, he had a small reminder that those days were far behind him.

Eventually his tears ran dry and he was able to look back at her, wiping his eyes. He was still mind-numbingly sad, despite having no more tears left to give, and his eyes held a lost, haunted look. It was only then that he registered Rose's words, and he shook his head sadly. He knew she wanted to comfort him, but she didn't quite understand! "I knew she was in danger the moment I saw the dragon..." He said, his voice raw and tired. "I should've been with her! I should've protected her..."

He heaved a sigh that sounded a lot like a scoff. "I always swore that I'd never make that mistake twice, but today I made the exact same choice..." his voice dripped with self-loathing. "I should've fought the monster, but instead I went chasing after poltergeist like a coward!"

Despite the intense emotions that they were feeling, Rosalyn couldn't help but give Gaston a small smile as he kissed her hand. Just the little gestures like this could be enough to calm her and make things better. It really was an amazing help, and she hoped that she could do the same for him, because seeing him upset was always so much worse than when she was hurting. "It just want you to feel better about everything." She wanted to take away his pain, but she wasn't sure if she could do that; it was very upsetting to think about that, as if she was failing him in some way even though he would NEVER want her to think that. She would try not to for his sake, but it would be hard to at times.

Her eyes widened at what he said next.

Rosalyn knew that Gaston could be hard on himself, but she didn't want him for even a moment to think that this was his fault or he hadn't done enough. "You weren't a coward, Gaston. The poltergeists were crucial for getting rid of the monster. I doubt that we would have been able to beat it without their help; it was so powerful and could easily have killed people. Our getting the poltergeists was very important." So there was no need to feel ashamed about what he had done, and everyone played an important role in what had happened. "I was much more of a failure... Because of me two boys were dragged off by the monster." This was something that she would never forgive herself for. "And don't you dare think that you could have taken on a dragon, Gaston because if you had tried, you would have died and I can not even think about that!" It was way too upsetting, and the thought of it broke her heart into a million pieces.

Gaston remained silent for several minutes as he held Rose's hand in both of his own, just taking in her touch, her scent, her very presence. Just being near her soothed his hurting heart! Seeing her smile was comforting, but her words sent a fresh wave of guilt crashing over him.
He never wanted her to believe she wasn't helping! See what you've done? a nasty little voice in the back of his mind taunted him. Now she's upset because of you! If only he wasn't so absolutely useless at hiding his emotions!

"Ma belle..." he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "Please don't ever think you don't make me feel better. You already have, more than you could possibly imagine..." Thinking about Ellie and the dragon attack would probably always hurt, but just knowing that he no longer had to go through it alone made it more bearable. "After I lost Ellie, I was so sad and so alone for so long... I thought I would never find love again but I found you..." That was why the dream upset him so much. Losing Ellie devastated him, but losing Rose would destroy him forever!

Gaston sniffled, looking up at Rose with puffy, red-rimmed eyes. Somewhere deep down, he knew she was right, but it didn't feel like it now. Her next words had him staring at her in a mixture of shock, horror, and unutterable sadness. "Oh, Rose, no... don't think like that!" He had to swallow the lump rising in his throat before he could go on. "You couldn't have fought that monster any more than I could a dragon. I know you would've done anything to protect the boys..." Just like Ellie, he thought bitterly. "But it still would've taken them, even if you'd been there. Only then you'd be -" His voice broke before he could finish that sentence.

He was sure he should be crying by now, but no tears came to his eyes. "And if that happened..." Rose had already pretty much voiced exactly what he was thinking on that matter. "I don't think I could go on!"

It was clear that the merely holding her hand was helping to settle Gaston down even further, and that was a great relief to Rosalyn because she absolutely hated seeing him upset and crying. Things were going to be okay and they would get through them; everything always worked out in the end. His next words made her smile, happy to know that she helped him. Even though she already KNEW it, it was always nice to hear such things. "And I will continue to do so." Something that she was sure he was more than aware of, but she wanted to say so anyway. "I never thought I would find love again either. I know how it feels even if it was under different circumstances." At the time she would have welcomed the cheating ex to be killed by a dragon or something else horrible, but those feelings had changed a long time ago. Usually she wouldn't have wished death on anyone, but at the time she had been so hurt and so angry. It was so nice to be healed and moving on with her life. Starting all over again.

Gaston's reassurances were nice to hear and deep down she knew that he was correct in thinking that there had been nothing she could do, but Rosalyn still wasn't convinced. "I am a professor. I should have sent them back to their common rooms. Went with Kaysha to do that. But we thought that they would be safe... They were going to go to Viktor's office... They had wanted to be there for safety. I didn't think anything would have happened... We thought that they would be okay." Tears were threatening to fall again, but somehow she managed to keep her composure. "Please don't talk like that, Gaston." It was hard hearing that.

Gaston was exhausted, both physically and emotionally. Telling Rose about the dragon attack and the horrible memories it brought took a lot out of him. His eyes burned and his throat felt raw, and he had a sort of tired, achy feeling all over. But in a weird way, he felt better. He no longer felt faint and trembly, and for the first time since he got here - and probably the first time since he saw the monster - his heart had stopped racing. His grip on Rose's hand blackened, but he wasn't ready to let go just yet.

He gazed at her silently for a few moments, too touched by her words to speak, and he was able to return her smile with a small one of his own. "I know," he said once he found his voice. The thought of his beloved Rose being as hurt and lonely as he once was made him sad, but knowing that part of their lives was far behind them made it better. "You'll never have to feel that again, I promise..." His voice trailed off, and he gave her a little kiss on the cheek to underscore the sincerity of his words.

Then the conversation took a much darker turn, and Rose's next words shattered his heart. Seeing her so down on herself hurt him worse than the memories of the dragon attack ever could! He wished he could say something to assure her it wasn't her fault, but he knew from experience that it wouldn't be that easy. It was going to take time for her to stop blaming herself for the boys' disappearance, just as it was still taking him time to stop blaming himself for Ellie's death. All he could do was hope that maybe one day, they both would be able to let go of their guilt.

He looked at her, his eyes reflecting all the love and empathy that his words couldn't express. He could tell she was trying not to cry, and that made him want to cry... But he didn't think he could cry any more at this point. He squeezed her hand, but somehow that didn't seem enough to comfort her. He needed to be nearer to her! He stood beside her chair, bending slightly so that his eyes were level with hers, and pulled her into a hug. He would hold her close as long as it took for her to feel better!

Despite the fact that Rosalyn already knew Gaston would never hurt her in a million years, she couldn't help but beam at his words. It was the biggest smile that she had worn in a while, and helped her to feel a little better about everything. The guilt over what had happened to the boys was still eating her up inside, but they were there to help and support each other through everything. And maybe he was right... there was no way of knowing what would have happened. They had been snatched SO close to Viktor's office and it was sad to think how close those boys had been to safety before they had been snatched away. "Everything will work out and be okay because we have each other."

Still smiling, she leaned into the hug. "Can we stay like this for a while?" Right now that was all that Rosalyn wanted.

Gaston was half-expecting tears as he held Rose close to him, but none came. Quite the opposite... she was smiling, more than he'd seen her smile in a long time. He didn't know what touched his heart more, seeing her smile like that or knowing that her smile was because of him. Either way, it was impossible not to smile back at her!

The sadness he felt at the monster attack and the memories of Ellie's death and the fear of losing Rose was still there - and probably would be for a long time - but it didn't overpower him now. He was at a loss for words when Rose voiced exactly what he was thinking. He simply nodded, his blue eyes shining with adoration; there was nothing more he could add. There was a time not so long ago when he never would've believed his emotional scars would heal, but Rose was right; everything would be alright as long as they had each other.

He hugged her a little tighter as she leaned into him. "Of course, ma belle," he whispered. "As long as you like..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scene four July 2092: Gaston has arranged to give Rosalyn a grand tour of Beaubatons. (guest character: Prof. Andre Evremonde)

With a POP, Gaston appeared at the edge of the Beaubatons school grounds, holding tightly onto Rose's arm. His concerned eyes surveyed her up and down for any sign of injury. "Are you alright, ma belle?" he asked. She hadn't been splinched, had she? Merlin, he didn't even want to think about that! He would never forgive himself if that happened!

Now where was Professor Evremonde? He was supposed to meet them here, but he was nowhere to be found. Weird... maybe they were a few minutes early? He turned back to Rose and gave her hand a little squeeze. "Professor Evremonde should be here any-"

A loud CRACK cut him off before he could finish. WHAT WAS THAT?! He instinctively moved in front of Rose, his wand drawn. If there was another dragon on the loose, this time he would be ready for it! But it wasn't a dragon... it was an Abraxan, or several of them pulling a carriage. It landed gracefully in front of them, and a gray-haired man appeared.

Andre Evremonde had been looking forward to this ever since he got the owl from Gaston. It had been nearly two years since he'd last seen his former student and colleague; it would be nice to catch up - and to finally meet the lovely lady he'd read about in Gaston's letters.

As he stepped out of the carriage, he was greeted with the strange sight of his former student standing in front of a woman with his wand drawn and looking utterly panic-stricken. He immediately realized why and berated himself for being so stupid. "Goodness, I didn't mean to scare you! I just thought it's a bit of a hike to the school, and you might rather ride than walk..."

While apparation wasn't Rosalyn's favourite form of transportation, it was one that she was rather used to. She also liked to think that she managed to do a good job of keeping herself very composed during the whole ordeal. Plus it was better than portkeys. A lot of things were better than portkeys.

"I'm perfectly fine," she told Gaston with a smile to reassure him. It was so like him to fret about her, and while Rosalyn appreciated the care, she really did hate making him worry so much. Squeezing his hand slightly, she was relieved to see that he clearly hadn't been splinched either. Then again it would have been really surprising if he HAD been seeing as he was an expert with charms...

Her thoughts drifted at the mention of the professor that they were to be meeting, and before she could say anything on the matter, there was a loud CRACK and she was suddenly behind Gaston. Oh goodness! The suddenness of everything had shocked her slightly, but everything was okay. It was just... Abraxans pulling a carriage!!!

Rosalyn's eyes widened. She could never get over how beautiful the creatures were. "It's no problem at all, Professor Evremonde. It's so nice to finally meet you. I've heard so many things." Of course they had all been GOOD; that surely didn't need to be said. Also, could she pet the horses???

Seeing Rose smile made it impossible not to smile along with her. He trusted his apparation skills, but it was still nice to have reassurance that she hadn't been injured. The hand squeeze was a welcome surprise. He gave her hand a quick squeeze in return, then gently lifted it to his lips to give it a quick kiss. He silently gazed at her, his eyes reflecting all the love that his words could not, but the moment was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the carriage.

His momentary panic vanished upon seeing the winged horses, and he lowered his wand, a blush rising to his cheeks. He felt stupid for overreacting! His sheepish expression turned into a smile when he saw Professor Evremonde. Leave it to him to go out of his way to make Rose feel welcome! "Professor Evremonde... it's been too long!" he greeted the older man. Seeing him again brought back all the memories of their lengthy history together, and he absentmindedly petted one of the horses to calm the sudden onslaught of emotion. It took him a minute to register his next words. "No, it's alright. I just thought you were..."

His voice trailed off, but before he could think too much about that, he remembered that introductions were in order. He sidled back over to Rose, but before he could speak, she was already talking to Professor Evremonde.


Truth be told, Andre wasn't sure what to think at first when he learned Gaston had fallen in love again. He was happy for him, of course -
Merlin knows he deserves happiness after all he's been through! But there was a small part of him that worried this relationship would turn out like all the others. That fear went away the moment he stepped out of the carriage and saw how affectionate they were with each other. Of all of Gaston's past girlfriends - and he'd met all of them - only one other had been that loving with him.

He eagerly returned Gaston's smile, overjoyed to finally be reunited with the young man who was like the son he never had. "Gaston, my boy!" he exclaimed, giving him a big hug. "How many times must I ask you to call me Andre?" He laughed. "Indeed it has, two years too long! So how are things?" Then he saw that look in his eyes... the one that betrayed a storm of emotions. He nodded sympathetically in reply to his next words; he knew perfectly well what Gaston thought he was and felt like an idiot for not thinking of that sooner. He rested a comforting hand on the younger man's shoulder before turning his attention to Rosalyn.

"You must be the lovely Rosalyn!" he said as he approached. "Enchanté, chérie. The pleasure is all mine. Gaston's certainly told me everything about you!" He smiled warmly. "Please, my dear, call me Andre. Any friend of Gaston's is a friend of mine!" He chuckled a bit at what she said next. "Uh oh. What kind of things?" He was joking, of course. He knew Gaston idolized him far more than he deserved! He opened the door to the carriage. "The carriage is waiting whenever you're ready..."
