My autistic sister used to sing that all the time!!! :o
 

Being with Violet, right now, kissing in the Terrace, made Christopher feel as if he were walking on air. It was so unreal. He was with the most beautiful girl in Hogwarts. She'd fallen for him. Dorky Christopher James. He wondered why he'd been so blessed. It was really love at first sight. He'd normally never believed in it, but thinking back, one look into those eyes and he'd felt safe. Sure, he hadn't even known what those feelings were at the time. But now that he knew, he never wanted to let go.

He wanted to say a million things to her as they sat there peacefully, taking in their last few months together slowly. It would pass by before they knew it. Christopher just kept quiet though. He was sure he would ruin the moment with any awkward remark he was bound to make. But the silence was suddenly broken, three words ringing in his ears. Suddenly, he couldn't breathe. Hearing it from Sely was way different than actually hearing Violet say it.

I love you. Just last week, the phrase would've horrified him. He hadn't known what love really was, he would've said he was too young, and he just hadn't grasped how much it meant. But now, sitting here, he was no longer afraid. And he felt it too. "I love you too." Deep down, he'd known it all along, but now he was so sure, so ready. He said it back, confidence in his voice, but he spoke so softly and lightly. That's how he knew she'd know he was telling the truth.

OOC: The song explains them so perfectly. <33

I adore you!!! <3 <3 And the song is perfect!! <3
 

After Violet had said that she loved him she was a little shocked that it had escaped her lips. For she wasn't exactly sure if that was the perfect time to say it, but she just felt that there was no better no moment than now for her to say it to him. And after she finally spoke the words verbally instead of mentally saying it, she felt so relieved. But then after she had said it she was a little scared because then she wasn't sure how Chris would respond.

She didn't know if he was going to tell her that he just really liked her, or that he thought they were too young to feel that way, or that he wasn't ready for something like that. But she was completely taken aback when he had actually said he loved her too. Violet's eyes widened and she felt her heart skip a beat again and then she looked at him star struck. Violet felt a small smile begin to form on her face and then she said she in a light sweet tone,"Really?" She felt like one of her many fairy tales had just come true and she couldn't be any happier.

GAH! I love you as well, oh Chrissy. ^_^ Haha, thanks, it's just so them! <3 <3 <3 <3
 

He was rather surprised that she seemed suprised. Hadn't she understood how much she meant to him? Had she not known how much he cared, and how hard he'd fought (litterally) to keep by her side? But luckily, it didn't matter anymore. For she probably didn't doubt his truth by the way he spoke. The truth and love were so clear in his voice, you'd be questionable if you didn't sense it.

"Without a doubt."

He felt something else tugging at him, that could have possibly ruined the moment. But he had to get it off of his chest. So he asked her quietly, "What if this is our last year together? Will you promise to never forget me?" He hoped she didn't have to ask him the same thing. His love and sincerity were so clear in his voice, no one in their right mind would've questioned it. Not even Peeves, who most certainly was not in his right mind.

Thank goodness Selina fixed all of this already!!
 

Violet then smiled again when he replied, he couldn't have said it any more perfect. She then felt herself blush a little again and then she tilted her head down smiling and some of her hair fell in front of her face, but then she gently moved it behind her ear. Violet then looked back at him to meet his gaze and then he asked her what if that it was their year together.

She could feel her smile begin to fade a little. Of course it wasn't up to her if Chris was going to stay at Hogwarts or not, we all knew that. But she took a deep breath and then looked at him saying softly,"Then I would make sure to spend almost every day with you as much I could to savor our last moments together before we had to part....If we ever had to part..." Violet then replied again moving closer to him staring directly in his eyes,"Never...Never for the rest of my life would I ever forget you...." She paused and then said lightly,"I care for you too much...And like I said before...I love you.." Violet gave him a gentle smile.

Oh, I know! Thank gosh that's all solved and done! We're RPing as the parents soon!!!
 

Violet's responses to his questions made Christopher's heart break. They were exactly how he felt, and he couldn't even express how unfair and cruel it was that they were being ripped apart in just a few months. He felt like life was playing some sort of sick and twisted joke on them, as if they were nothing of importance. He gave her a hug attack and whispered into her ear, "I'll never forget you, Violet Le Veela. No matter where life takes us, I'll write to you always, until we're so old and gray that we've forgotten how to write."

Images of what could have been danced in Christopher's mind. He imagined all sorts of things. Them dancing when they were in sixth and seventh years, graduating Hogwarts, working in the Wizarding World, waving his wand, being a fourth year; even a wedding snuck in there somewhere, making him blush to himself. He hoped she hadn't seen him. But they were in love, and that was all that mattered at that exact moment.

Yayyyy! I'm so happy haha! Like I can't even contain myself!!
 

Violet smiled when she had answered his questions, her answers were filled with every bit of honesty completely and nothing else. She then jumped a little when he began giving her a hug attack and light giggled had escaped. Violet then listened to everything he whispered to her in her ear and then she turned towards him smiling again. Why was he easy at sweeping her off her feet?!

She gently moved forward and placed her forehead against his gently continuing to stare into his eyes. Violet then whispered herself,"And Christopher James, I'll be holding you to that. I expect a letter every day.." She lightly giggled when he mentioned how he still write to her when they at the point that they couldn't even remember how to write.

Violet smiled and this time decided that she would finally make the first move and slowly began moving have her lips meet with his once more. It lasted a few moments and then she slowly parted her lips from his and then she smiled again. Violet then noticed that he seemed to thinking about something and then she couldn't help but ask sweetly,"What's on your mind?"

This is making my life. <3 Violet and Christopher are so perfect it's not even funny!
 

Christopher grinned and held up his right hand."I solemnly swear that I will write you every day, until I'm old and gray and don't remember how to. Scouts honour." Even though he was never a boy scout or anything, he felt adding that extra phrase would make it much more official, as lame as that was. "I hope your future boyfriends and kids aren't too annoyed by me," he said still on the topic of letters, half joking, half not. He was sure Violet would find peace with herself and move on. Christopher wasn't sure how easy that would be. He'd already found the most perfect girl in the whole world, and he wasn't planning on finding anyone else anytime soon. Or at all.

Forehead to forehead, the two kids were so close that he nearly had to go cross eyed to look into her violet eyes, so he just focused on one. Her left eye was good enough, even if he couldn't see both at once. Their noses touched and their eyelashes threatended to reach out and touch one another. Violet's move was perfect. She kissed him briefly, and he was glad it was not too long or the moment wouldn't have been as perfect. She noticed his thoughts wandering, and when she asked, Christopher answered truthfully. "I'm just thinking bittersweet thoughts about a life I could've had until yesterday. A life in the Wizarding World. A life she'd get to have with out him.

OMG I know right?!?! GAHH! <3
 

Violet smiled when he raised his right hand and then laughed a little lightly as he swore he would. When he had finished she nodded her head once saying,"Good...Well if it should ever come to that, then that'll just be their own problem, because none of them will ever be able to understand the love I shall always have for you Christopher James.." She knew that it was way too soon for her to be saying stuff like that since they were only 12 & 13 years old, but she couldn't help it, things just felt so right.

She noticed him almost go cross-eyed when their foreheads were touching and she couldn't help but smile at him again. When he answered her question Violet smiled nodding her head before replying,"Oh, alright I see.." She paused and then asked,"Would you like to share some of those thoughts maybe?" Then she quickly cut in before he could reply,"-But if you feel I'm pressuring you and you don't want to tell me, then that's perfectly fine with me.." She kissed his cheek lightly.

Hehe, the whole age thing has been bugging me for AGES.
 

Christopher turned to lie on his back, putting his arms under his head, staring curiously up at the clouds. "Violet?" He asked dreamily, as if he were off in a new world in the clouds. "Are we too young for this? To feel this way? To say all these things? We're just children, after all." He knew very well that they were much too young for these sort of feelings, but Christopher just couldn't feel differently. It was like just for a moment he could escape the world and just stay with her. But deep down, they both knew that this world would be coming to an end. And soon.

"No, I mean, it's nothing really that exciting." He said with a small sigh. "It's just, I was thinking about how things could've been, you know? About things that won't ever happen that both of us are too afraid to say out loud. About graduating, being a full grown wizard, growing up in a happy place with friends......" He paused, thinking twice about saying something about her. He knew if he said the truth, it'd break her heart with sorrow, but if he didn't she might as well be upset with him all the same. And honesty was the best policy. So the lion added in the thought, though he toned it down to be much less sad than it was originally meant to be. "....Well, and maybe a future.... A life for me as an adult, you know? In the Muggle World, I'll have to be something like an accountant, or have some other boring, miserable job. And you know. And if I didn't leave, I, well.... I, erm, wouldn't have you." He said in a small voice.

Violet watched as he lay down and stared at the clouds. Her eyes slowly traveled to the sky as well as she watched the clouds herself. Then she heard his voice and she then slowly looked back at him and said softly,"Yes?" Then he asked if they were too young for stuff like this and she paused for a moment. Violet thought for a moment and then said,"True..We are just children...But...Is it strange that...Our age doesn't really even change the way I feel....Not in the slightest.." She gave him a small smile.

When he didn't think it was anything exciting she then said,"I don't mind, please tell.." Then as he began to tell her what he was thinking she sat silently as he went on. Violet wasn't exactly sure what made him think of all of these but again she just listened to him. When Chris mentioned growing up and being an adult in the Muggle world she heard him saying that he would be an accountant or have some miserable job and then she was about to say something when she heard him in the slightest tone that he wouldn't have her. She softly placed her hand on his hand and saying,"Why do you we have to talk about the future," she paused,"Nothing's been set in stone. I just want to enjoy this time I have with you, right now...In the present, with you right next to me. Nothing complicated. Nothing foreign. Just me and you. And when that day comes, if that day comes, then we'll worry about it. But right now, let reality be in some far off place. Far from here.."

"I just don't want to be saying all of these things, and really pouring my heart out to you, if in the end all it does is hurt us." He sighed. By the end, they both knew what Christopher meant. He meant when he had to leave and they'd never see one another. He just didn't want to fall for her so hard, that they'd both be seriously hurt on the way back down. Saying such precious, meaningful words like that was a big deal. 'Love,' was not a word Christopher just threw around. There were only three people in this world that he loved. Elyon. Selina. Violet. They were his only family, all he had. He didn't want to be hurt anymore than he already was. But he still couldn't help but feel this way.

Christopher looked sadly at his feet. "I know. I shouldn't be thinking so negatively. I'm just scared. You know? I'm so afraid of what will happen at the end of the term. I know there's no sense in fretting on the matter now, before it's even going to happen, but I just can't help it. Vi, I don't know what's going to happen to me. I don't know where I'm going to go, how I'm going to survive, let alone keep my sister healthy and well. I'm all alone after this. I want to stay in this happy, make believe land where everything is happy and perfect. Really, Violet, I want it more than anything. But reality won't leave me alone. Not now, not ever. I can't ever escape it."

As soon as he said that it would hurt them Violet had a very puzzled look on her face right then. She paused for a moment and then asked,"What do you mean it could hurt us? What could hurt us Chris?" Violet began to wonder to herself what he meant by that, was he leaving her? After they had just patched things up?

Then Violet saw him looking very sadly at his feet and listened to him as he spoke. The confusion in her mind was just getting more and more worse as he went on. She stayed silent when he continued to speak of such terrible things that were worrying him. When he finished Violet then looked at the earth beneath them and took a deep breath. Violet then slowly asked him,"...Then what do we do..."

The look on Christopher's face was absolutely shocked. Did she not know? Didn't she understand whateither sending me to an orphanage or I'll be living on the streets. I'm not coming back next year. If we say all of these things about love now, we could be hurt by our distance this meant? They couldn't be together forever. At the end of the term, he was either going to a Muggle orphanage in London, or he'd be out on the streets. "Vi..... Don't you understand? My father is dead. My mum is , and the fact that we wont' ever see one another ever again. It'll just make it harder to say goodbye."

Christopher shook his head, his heart heavy and his eyes full of sorrow. "I don't know. I don't know if there's even anything we can do. It's not in our hands anymore."

Violet looked at him when he suddenly got a tad bit defensive when he spoke to her about leaving. Then he had told her that he may not be coming back to Hogwarts..just like he had said last year. Violet then became rather sad again after he had said it. In a way Violet did know what he had meant but she didn't want to believe it. Then she finally said softly,"It's not in our hands? Says who? I believe that we should make our own destinies.."

Christopher sat there feebly trying to work out what in the world he was going to do. Violet probably wanted an answer right then, but there was no way he could think of something that important that quickly. "But how?" he asked weakly, staring at her miserably. "How can I fix something this big? Something this far out of my control?" She didn't understand how difficult this was. She was very sheltered, she had everything she wanted, and nothing bad ever happened to her. Except for when he accidently pulled her into his never ending trouble, but that was a whole different story. She probably couldn't wrap her mind around what this meant for him; he found it hard to do himself. But he was in a very hard and bad situation, and he just didn't know what she expected him to do to fix it.

And of course he had asked her the two words she knew would come out. Violet had to think for a moment but it didn't take her very long for her to realize what she needed to say. Violet then had to take a mental process of how to word, but then realized that wasn't the right answer. She went back in her head and tried again, wrong again. Violet then realized the only thing she could say to at least give him some hope. One word escaped her lips,"Faith.."

Aurora!
 

Aurora was exploring around the greenhouses when she came upon a little eagle owl. She watched it for a while, seating herself on the edge of a raised flowerbed and humming a little tune to herself.

Look! A nice looking young lady!

Hades hooted happily, as he fixed his tiny eyes on the new figure. See? She liked flowers too!

The owl hopped on the table that was next to the chair he was still resting on, made a few small steps across it, hopped on another chair and then finally on the ground. He was now approaching the unknown girl with even smaller steps, trying to show her that he was a good owl.

And he also liked to be stroked.

Ooh, the owl was coming towards her, she held her arm out and waited for the little owl to hop onto it. "Come on. Be professional now." she laughed, sitting with her back and a straight as any falconer.

Hoot, hoot.

Hades was happy! This girl surely wasn't afraid of him, so he made a few more steps towards her. But what did she tell him? Professional? Hades WAS professional!

The owl eyed her outstretched arm and hopped on it. See? Hades could be professional, in whatever way she meant. He only hoped his mistress wouldn't be angry with him because he flew away from her.

"There, very good." she said as she stroked the owl. "Now then; who do you belong to?" she asked.

If Hades were a cat, he would be purring now. But since he wasn't one (and didn't even want to turn into one), he only hoped that this girl could see how pleased he was that she was finally stroking him. Because he liked that!

All he could do was hoot happily.

To my mistress, of course, the owl thought. Sadly, he couldn't speak. Just hoot. Maybe she'll understand. Hehe.

Aurora tickled the owl under his beak and chuckled as he hooted softly. "Now then, don't you think we should find your mistress or master?" she said, looking at the little ball of fluff on her arm. "I'm sure somebody is out there looking for you, you're such a little cutie. Did you run away?"

She was tickling him now!

Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait.

Hades didn't like that! He liked to be stroked, not tickled. The owl was tempted to pinch her, but he didn't. He didn't want to make a bad impression. Oooh and she wanted to look for his mistress? She must be looking for him that moment.

But of course, all he could do was hoot some more.
