*is walksing into the great hall for dinner and sits down*
*she looks up* hey Gin. Whats up?
*grins at lav but frowns as she starts floating. sets herself down and yawns* I guess I am. *sighs* I'm too tierd latly to keep my block up...
*she flashes her a grin* I noticed. What have you been doing?
Well, physicly, doing whatever I should. mentally, I am doing everything. Sorting out thoughts, keeping my powers under contrule. I would talk to Max and Bri about it, sice there the only other phsychics, but I'm too busy!
*she frowns* well..can I help?
*Sits at The Ravenclaw table, watching Lavender and Ginny. He smiles a sortta sad smile then returns to his eating, rather picking of his food. He's having a rather hard week controlling his other half*
*knowing she is being watched, she turns, and sees him, then turns back to Ginny* If I can help, I will Gin. *she smiles at her, then stands* just ask, any time... *she offers another smile, then walks over to the Ravenclaw table, and sits next to Damion, resting a hand on his shoulder* hey....whats up? *she looks at him curiously, concerned*
*the feel of her warm hand on his shoulder sends chills down his spine. He closes his eyes for a moment then looks at her*
Hi Lavender, nice day isn't it?
*He almost sounds pained to talk, almost as if he were in great pain of some sort. He drops his fork then stands.*
Please excuse me Lav..ender. I need some rest.
*With that, he turns and walks most unsteadily out of the Hall, Lavender can see Dumbledore stand and leave after him, his look grave and quite concerned.*
*she frowns, knowing something is seriously wroung, here, and she follows him out, too concerned for her own good**she exits the Great Hall, and is enveloped in the darkness of the hallway, and she calls out for him, an odd tone lingering in her voice* Damion?...Damion whats going on?..Are you alright?
*A hand catches her shoulder and sftly brings her to a stop. Dumbledore looks down at her*
Lavender, I think it best you go back to the Hall just now...
D- NO, she can come. She should know....
*Damions voice comes from over in a darkened corner, it sounds almost hollow, void of most feelings but at the same time, sad.*
*she remains silent for a moment, then moves away from Dumbledore, and walks over to where his voice came from, despite the cold, wrenching feeling forming in her chest by the sadness in his voice*....whats going on?...
Nessun Preoccupa L'Amore.
*He speeks in Itlian. Then looks at her, his normaly dark, almost black eyes shining silver in the candel light.*
Lavender, he's, Damion is a vampire.
*Dumbledore words come from behind her.*
Nessun Preoccupa L'Amore. No worries....
*Damion then steps to the side and walks out of the hall and out side.*
*she follows him instantly, and walks directly to his side, entwining her hand with his, without any hesitation at all* hey.....Damion, look at me. *she raises her other hand and gently touches the side of his face, turning it toward hers, so she can meet his eyes, her voice calm and soothing* hey.....Is this what has been bothering you so much? That you`re part vampire?
*her soothing words and her touch seem to calm him, he seems to have a sence of himself suddenly although, his words don't seem to want to come to his lips. He nods his head. then opens his mouth to speek, there, glistening in the morning sun is seen his long, slender fangs*
Sono Damion Damion Callicantzaro. Figlio di David ed erede al throne del clan Tremere di mage
*He shakes his head. Then takes a steadying breath*
I am Damion Callicantzaro, son of David and heir to the throne of the mage clan Tremere. Non li nuocerò ..I will not harm you.
I know....*she had tenced a bit at the sight of his fangs, but had soothed the thought away, more content now, that she knew...*
I know you won`t harm me, Damion Callicantzaro, and thats why I trust you..*she meets his gaze again, softly squeezing his hand in reassurance, and then she lays her head upon his shoulder, breathing in the soft, musky smell of his*
Óáò áãáðþ
*His words come out on old world Greek and he hesitates a moment then relaxes a bit, raising his hand he softly brushes her hair from her face then looks sideways at her.*
Grazie lavanda, thank , you for not running away.
*a light shines on them from the doors. Walks out* Hey guys *looks puzzled then raises her eybrows and smiles* having fun? *laughs and walks toward the forest, a little calico cat trailing at her heels*
you are very welcome. I-*she stops, and looks up as Ginny speaks to them, and smiles* hey Gin
*Averts his eyes*
Ciao Ginny.
*she looks back at him, and can find nothing else to say, so she lays her forehead back against his shoulder, softly hugging him*
*is sitting in the air above the school meditating*
*she doesn`t move from Damion, but she sees Harry with her other sences*~Harry, what are you doing? I thought you were eating dinner...~
~I was, when I finished I came out here to meditate. I do this almost every day.~
~oh....alright...~
*Closes his eyes then doubles over in pain. Looks like he wants to say somethig to her but nothing comes out, only a low growl then, faster than the human eyes can detect, he's gone. He didn't dissaperate but took off, into the forest, they were able to catch a short glimps of his robes then nothing, he's gone.*
*looks after him* I thought that was it.
*she looks after him, biting her lip and just standing there for a moment, then she walks to her spot by the lake and sits, thinking*
*The sky begins to grow darker and darker until finally, Damion comes out of the forest, he looks totaly normal, like nothing ever happened. He walks over to the lake where Lavender still sits and seats himself next to her, staring out over the smooth surface of the dark water. He says nothing.*
*she brings her legs up to her chest and wraps her arms around her knees, just enjoying the peaceful silence, as well as his presence*
*Turns his head slightly and looks at her form the conner of his eyes, He smiles then looks back out at the lake*
I'm srry I ran off, I had to.
*Says quietly*
*she looks over at him, her voice gentle*
No apologies, I understand. *she smiles softly* Are you alright?
Ya, I'm fine. As a matter of fact, quite a lot better than I've been in amonth or so.
*Gives a half laugh*
Being a vampire is troublesome, but if you can find JUSt, the right victim, then it's well worth it.
*Loks almost smug*
*she smiles slightly* Thats good to hear.
*she looks over at him agian, her voice quiet* It`s going to rain...*she looks up as it does so, then closes her eyes as drops begin to sprinkle over her features*
*Watches her silently smiling then stands and offers her his hand*
*she opens her eyes, and gladly takes his hand, pulling herself up* thanks.. *a broad, warm smile curves over her lips, and the rain begins to fall heavier*
*Looks up at hte sky, letting the water wash away the last of his regrets then turns to her, smiling too.*
Do you want to go in?
Actually....no. *she grins, then kneels down and gathers water with the cup of her hand and splashes him**she grins and runs, laughing*
*Looks shocked for no more than an instant then begins to laugh, and takes off after, his spead catching her in a matter of seconds. HE reaches out and grabs her, turning her around, picking her up and throws her over hsi shoulder, holding tight as she squirms to get away. He ten walks over to the lake and tosses her in.*
*she screams, then comes to the surface, laughing**she suddenly reaches out and grabs his leg, then pulls him in after, laughing her life`s worth*
*pops out of the water directly behind her and grabs her about the waist, laughin gthe whole while, then he picks her up with incredible ease and toss her furth in the lake. Watching as she goes under,once again.*
*she doesn`t come up this time, but swims beneath the surface and trips him under the water, then comes up, laughing even hader*
*Comes up laughing*
Ok, you win.
*Splashes her with water.*
*she grins, then pulls herself up at the edge, her legs hanging into the water**she simply smiles at him*
*Smiles, letting his fangs show and as the moon light hits his eyes, they glint silver for a moment. He swins over an dcrawls on shore as well, sitting beside her*
So, what now?
*she turns toward him, her face only inches from his, and smiles teasingly* I dunno, its up to you.
*Smiles, catching hold of her eyes, holding them for several moments then stands and turns toward the castle.*
I think it's time to go dry off.
*she glances up to the sky, as she stands beside him*
Ya, the storms almost over anyway.
*she looks down at her feet for a moment, then returns her gaze back to him* mud..*she grins, and laughs*
*smiles*
Mud, yes...then to clean off and dry off then?
ya..
*She walks over to the stone steps leading into the castly, and takes off her shoes and socks, shakes them off (at least what she could), and pulls up her robes just above her ankles so they won't get her feet wet..er*
Coming?
*She smiles at him*
*Closes his eyesfor a moment, nods his head then smiles*
After you.
*She softly opens the doors and walks in, her feet soundlessly slipping over the cool tile as she makes her way across. Being wet on tile has it's disadvantages, and as her feet began to slide, she realized them exactly; how she manages to lay sprawled out on the floor, remains question. Blushing furiously, she stands, and makes the rest of her way to the staircase..*
*Smiles and continues to follow her, hoping she was nto Too embaraced as he knows just how clumbs the human race is, one of the traits he finds most endearing to him*
*She stops at the top of the steps before the portriat of the fat lady, and pulls her hair over her shoulder, squeezing the water out of the raven black strands. She finally drops them, and looks back up at him, smiling again, all traces of a flush gone..*
See you in the morning?
good night Lavender Potter. Sleep well, I will see you in the mornig for breakfast...at breakfast.
*He chuckles slightly at the for breakfast coment then winks at her, turns and walks down to the Ravenclaw House, enters through the porthole and sits on the couch, next to the fire. He stares at the flames for several hours, deep in thought before finaly, retiring to his bed and a very needed rest.*
*She stares after him as he leaves, and then enters the common room, smiling. She walks up to her room and dresses in her night things, lays on the bed and pulls up the covers, and then stares up at the ceiling, thinking, until her own thoughts soothed her mind for a long missed, peaceful nights sleep, undisturbed by any dreams..
She awakens in the morning early, for once, and she walks down to the common room, not bothering, or caring to change out of her comfortable night shorts and tank top. She curls up on the window sill and throws a blanket over her shoulders, and then watches as the first rays of light begin to creep over the land, crystalized by minute drops of dew..*
*wakes an hour before Breakfast, showers and heads down the the common room. His spirits much better than ever before. He's let his secret out and has not been turned away. Lavender, the one who meant everything to him, did not back away, she stood by him. He smiled then, picking up his backpack and sliging it over his shoulder, he headed for the Great Hall and a bite to eat.*
*She smiles, then sighs, and stands, walking up to the showers after th sun had risen up completely. After her shower, she changes into her normal black robes, and walks down to the Great Hall, smiling widely when she sees Damion. She kisses him on the cheek, and sits next to him, still smiling happily*
Morning.
*She grabs a couple peices of toast*
Good morning Lavender." He repsonds, a smile of his own on his lips, the feel of her kiss still on his cheek.
Are we ready fro another bright Sunday morning? *He asks, smiling.*
*She grins*
Ya, I think so. Whats better than a wonderful Sunday to begin a school week?
*She smiles slighty*
Your call where to go.
*She sips her orange juice*
My call? Well then, I think a trip into Hogsmead is needed. I'm running out of a few things I need.
*He responds, scooting a gryffindor to the side so he can sit accross from her.*
*She grins*
Alright then. Hogsmeade it is.
*She smiles at the young griffindor, then returns her gaze to Damion*
*Smiles again, waving his hand over his glass then lifting it up to his mouth and drinks deeply, smiling as he sets it down on the table, it still steams a bit win the chill of the morning. The First year looks inquiringly at the cup then gasps as he noticed the blood still clinging to the side of the cup. Damion looks a the young boy and winks.*
*She grins slightly, and takes another sip of her drink, watching them still*
*Damion puts his finger to his lips, motioning the boy to be quiet about it and the boy smiles, thinking he now has a sectret that no one else knows. he grins at Damion then returns to his own breakfast.*
*She smiles toward Damion, then finishes her breakfast, the smile still lingering. She waits until he is finished..*
Ready love?
*Nods, then stands, ruffs the little boys hair, winking at him again then smiles at lavender.*
always ready for time spent with you.
*She tilts her head to the side slightly, and then smiles warmly. She takes his hand and walks with him out fo the hall toward hogsmeade..*
*Holds her hand in his, looking down at the two of them then back forward as they walk to Hogsmead. Once in Hogsmead, he walks to the joke shop first, opens the door and motions for her to enter.*
*She laughs slightly as they approach the joke shop, and then she smiles at him, entering. She looks around the shop, grinning*
What are you looking for?
*Smiles*
Of course I wil need some more fireworks and some bimbs...He rants the list of his dwindled supply. Picking up what he needs as he goes along*
*spots them* Hey guys! *walks over to them* What are you two doing here?
(Got to go, be back in a bit.. :-* )
*She laughs as she watches him grabs so many items, and then begins to grab some herself, grinning, listening to him still, thinking what ways that could be used for all these...*
*When he finishes he turns and waves at Ginny.* hey Ginny. We are just hanging out and you? *he asks as he pays for his goods, then turns and smiles at alvender, watching her.*
*She finishes picking out some of the most destructive, yet fun joker items, and pays for them, turning and smiling at Ginny*
Hey Gin.
*She smiles at Damion*
