[Aiden]

Aiden glanced down at her out of the corner of his eye.  "Whatever happened to Niles?"  He asked, curiously.  He ran one hand through Stacey's light brown hair.

Stacey`s smile faltered. "He moved to Romania." She said coldly and quietly. She glared at the ring on her right hand, the one very similar to the one Niles gave her.

[Aiden]

Aiden followed her gaze to the ring.  "Are you alright?" he asked.

[potter_fan122]

"I`m fine." She said, twisting the ring around her finger. This one was plain, it wasn`t engraved like the one Niles gave her. "Just some bad memories."

[Aiden]

Aiden caught her hand.  He ran his fingers over the ring she twisted in her hand.  "Sorry"  he said after a moment, it was all he could think of to say.

[potter_fan122]

"It`s okay." She said quietly. then she looked at him. "Where`s your ring?"

[Aiden]

Aiden held up his other hand and showed it to her.  "Right here"  He pointed out.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled and took that hand. Their rings touched, both warm from their own body heat. "Good." She said.

[Aiden]

He looked down at their rings.  "I don't think I've taken it off yet"  Aiden pointed out.

[potter_fan122]

"I haven`t either." Stacey replied, liking the fact that he hadn`t taken it off.

[Aiden]

"Good.  I would've felt weird being the only one"  Aiden said, smiling.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled and squeezed his hand for a moment. "I apreciate that you wear it." She said, resting her head on his shoulder. "Most guys wouldn`t have."

[Aiden]

"I don't mind one bit"  Aiden said, turning it around the finger he wore it on.  He looked into the fire.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey tangled her fingers in his. "Tell me about your romantic past." She said, not trying to bring back bad memories or anything.

[Aiden]

Aiden thought back at home.  He sighed "I've had a few real serious girlfriends.  Most of the time they all ended very badly though.  But since I'm still new here, I haven't dated anyone at Hogwarts yet."
