What happens in Hogsmead... (closed to all but those invited)

[purpleraincloud]

She wondered silently weather it was kissing her, or listening to music. She wasn't sure. She didn't want to have to ask him aloud if he wasn't comfortable saying it.

[Aiden]

Aiden raised an eyebrow and gave her a sideways glance.  His lips curved in a half smile.
"Obvious, isn't it?"  He asked with a slight hint of teasing in his tone.

[purpleraincloud]

She looked at him, back. She smiled gently. "No." She said. It was really nice walking in the silent darkness with him.

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at Avalee with a look of surprise.
"It's not?"  He asked, figuring she would know the answer.

[purpleraincloud]

"I'm never sure of myself. I'm not very confident in myself." She said, she was happy in a way, she could open up to him.

[Aiden]

Aiden stopped walking again, and put one hand on her shoulder. 
"You should be.  Theres nothing bad about you."  He pointed out sincerely.

[purpleraincloud]

She smiled at him. "Thanks" She quickly kissed his cheek.

[Aiden]

Aiden smiled, unable to control it as it spread through his lips and reached his eyes.  He couldn't help it, even though it knew it was wrong.
"What was that for?"  He asked.

[purpleraincloud]

"For being so kind, I guess I'm not use to that." She smiled at his smile.

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at her eyes, tilting his head out of habit. 
"I don't see why anyone would want to be anything but kind to you."  He pointed out quietly, looking at the ground.

[purpleraincloud]

"People take advantage of me, I'm too trusting of them." She said looking down at the ground as they walked.

[Aiden]

Aiden pressed his lips together, lifting his head to look ahead.
"Why would they do that?"  He asked.

[purpleraincloud]

"Because I trust people, more than I should, because I believe in good, or in other words I'm naive." She finished her sentence in her head...I'm stupid. This night was proof of it.

[Aiden]

Aiden stopped walking again, and turned his body so that he was facing Avalee directly.  His eyes were harsh as he stared down at her, cradling her cheeks.
"You're not stupid."  He pointed out.  "We all make mistakes.  If you're stupid then I'm the dumbest guy on the planet."

She smiled and looked into his cold eyes, she smiled wider as she spoke "Well what a pair we make!"
