[never let] go

She shrugged and sat down in her seat, trying to hide a smirk. She watched him look down at the table and around the large, dimly lit room. She could see perfectly, of course, and all she wanted to do was to stare at him.

"So, how`ve you been? What`s been going on with you lately?" Alice asked, making conversation. Before he could reply a short, thin man approached the table.

*Bonjour, mon nom est Xavier et I `ll être vous servir ce soir, voulez-vous quelque chose à boire? He held a pen above a small notepad and looked between the two of them expectantly.

Alice grinned widely, knowing that Seth probably hand`t understood that.
**"Nous allons prendre une bouteille de votre vin rouge et plus anciennes ... Que diriez-vous deux desserts. Surprenez-nous." The man nodded and walked away quickly. Alice just smiled at Seth innocently.

((Translations:
*Hello, my name is Xavier and I`ll be serving you tonight, would you like anything to drink?
**We will take a bottle of your oldest red wine and... how about two desserts. Surprise us.))

Seth almost laughed at the innocent smile Alice gave him.

"Well, I'm great. And I'm working on moving back for the remainder of the semester. So I'll be back in good ol' Ravenclaw. What about you? Has anything happened while I've been away?" He put his hands on the table and drummed his fingers along the edge.

potter_fan122 · April 6, 2010, 06:49:56 AM

Alice`s eyes lit up.

"You`re moving back?" She asked, "That`s wonderful." She placed her cold hand over his, smiling at him. "I didn`t think you were coming back, your letter said you were staying with your mother." Her smile faltered a little. That same letter had broken up their relationship.

Sky · April 6, 2010, 06:53:39 AM

"Yeah." Seth nodded. "I was. But that was because we weren't sure what was going on. We didn't know how fast she was going to recover, how much help she would need. But she started getting better really quick. I think it was an infection that she had of some sort, which caused a really bad fever in her too. And antibiotics weren't working too well. But she's alright. She's just relaxing and taking each day one at a time." He looked down at her hand, then at her.

"She told me to come back. She knew I missed you. I never told her, but she knew."

potter_fan122 · April 6, 2010, 07:00:08 AM

Alice stared into Seth`s eyes, knowing that what he said was true. It amazed her that someone she had never met would be that kind.

"That`s... amazing, Seth." She paused, trying to find her words. "I want to meet your family."

((Shortnesssss.))

Sky · April 6, 2010, 07:03:14 AM

"You know, we could go there tonight, if you're up to it. My parents want to meet you and I want you to meet them. I know they would love you." Seth said as he grinned.

((Mwahahaha.))

potter_fan122 · April 6, 2010, 07:10:15 AM

Alice shrugged, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips.

"Well, I sort of had... plans tonight."

The man returned with a wine bottle and two stem glasses. He also had a tray on one hand that had two small chocolate brownies drizzled with caramel and fudge.

*"Ici, vous allez, ont une belle nuit." He said merrily, placing the bottle, glasses, and two plates on the table.

**"Merci." Alice replied, nodding as the man turned and walked off. She took the wind bottle and popped the lid off, pouring a small amount of the red liquid into each of the glasses.

((*Here you go, have a nice night.
**Thank you.))

"That's okay. We'd be better off going on a weekend morning anyway because there's a little walk even after apparition. We live by a dense forest and it's hard to transport with all of that there. At least for me." Maybe it was just his concentration.

Seth had a broad grin on his face when the brownie arrived. "Ooh. Chocolate and wine." He said, eyeing the red liquid filled glass. He lifted it up and slowly took a sip.

"Hm. That is good wine."

potter_fan122 · April 6, 2010, 07:46:53 AM

Alice smiled and nodded, taking a sip of her own wine.

"Mm. French wine is really good." She moved her glass back and forth, letting the smooth liquid swirl around. "So how about we go this weekend. I really want to meet your family, and thank your mother." She smiled, shyly looking at Seth.

Sky · April 6, 2010, 07:49:12 AM

Seth nodded, excited, glad, and nervous at the same time that she wanted to meet his family.

"That sounds great. I can't wait." He started on his brownie, it practically melting in his mouth. "So, about these plans?" He said when he swallowed.

potter_fan122 · April 6, 2010, 07:52:34 AM

Alice grinned moving one of the plates towards Seth.

"Go ahead, dig in. It`s really good." She pulled the other towards her and picked up her fork. Human food didn`t taste that good to her, but she could eat and would tonight. She really did miss the taste of chocolate.

"And my plans, well... I guess it`s a surprise."

Sky · April 6, 2010, 07:56:24 AM

"Aw, I hate surprises." Seth said childishly. He smiled. "Thank you. For all of this." He gestured to everything around them and the food.
"By the way, I also have a surprise for you too. But you'll probably have to wait."

potter_fan122 · April 6, 2010, 08:02:33 AM

Alice made a face and took another sip of her wine.

"I hate waiting." She complained, copying his tone. "And you`re welcome. I feel like I... owe you something." She shrugged, looking down at her brownie.

Sky · April 6, 2010, 08:05:07 AM

Seth stuck his tongue out at her.

"Hey, I have to wait. So you can too." He said teasingly, taking another bite.

potter_fan122 · April 6, 2010, 08:10:02 AM

Alice grinned, taking a small bite of her brownie. The man at the piano had been joined by a violin, bass, and trumpet player and they were all warming up quietly. They were all off from each other, but it sounded strangely nice.

"So the question is, who goes first?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
