Ingrid walked through the snow up the paths, alone. She pulled her coat tighter in the cold.
Greg smiled and stopped in front of her.
"Hi there."
"Hi there."
Ingrid stepped back, immediately scared. "What do you want?"
Greg shrugged. "We didn't really get to hang out much yet." He stepped towards her.
"Why would I want to hang out with you?" Ingrid sneered. She stepped back, but tripped over a rock.
Greg smirked and held out a hand. "Need help?"
"No! Go away! Why do you have to bother me, so!?" Ingrid snapped and sat up.
Greg sighed. "I'm bored and I have a good reason. You stole my booth." He smirked.
Danny was with a few other Ravenclaws at a shop, and they just stepped out.

Ingrid stood back up. "Leave me alone." She turned to go, knowing he wouldn't let her.
Greg stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
Danny glanced around and saw a familiar jerk. Then he saw what he was doing.
"Hey!" He yelled and ran forward, pushing Greg out of the way. Greg hit the ground, and Danny went to Ingrid. "Gosh, are you ok?"

Ingrid fell back against the snow, cowering away. She recognized Danny and gasped. "Oh, gods. You came," she breathed shakily.
Danny pulled her up and held her close. "I'm so sorry, princess!" He muttered and kissed the top of her head. "You're safe now." He whispered.
Greg groaned. "I hate how you always seem to pop up."
Greg groaned. "I hate how you always seem to pop up."
Ingrid hugged him tightly and blinked back tears. "I w-was scared," she whispered.
"I know, I know, I'm so sorry. You're safe now, I'm here." He whispered, stroking her hair.
"Cute. The lovebirds." Greg smirked.
Danny pulled back from Ingrid and kissed her forehead, keeping her behind him as he stepped towards Greg. "You're so stupid."
"Cute. The lovebirds." Greg smirked.
Danny pulled back from Ingrid and kissed her forehead, keeping her behind him as he stepped towards Greg. "You're so stupid."
Ingrid held Danny's arm tightly and watched Greg warily.
"Thanks." Greg rolled his eyes. "Just leave."
"That's my line." Danny snapped. "Get out of my sight. If I ever see you again I will hurt you."
Greg began walking towards him. Danny whipped out his wand. "Stupefy!" He yelled, and Greg fell frozen to the ground.
Danny turned and pocketed his wand, then pulled Ingrid to his side with his arm around her waist. "I'm sorry love." He whispered.

Ingrid nodded and wrapped her arms around Danny. "I-it's okay... I'm okay..."
Danny stopped and wrapped his arms around her. "No, it's not." He muttered and pulled her as close as he could. He pressed his lips to her forehead. "C'mon. Let's go get you some cocoa." He smiled slightly and kissed her forehead again lightly.
Ingrid nodded and kept an arm around his waist as they walked. "Alright. Thank you."
((Hufflepuff again? Would you mind posting?))
((Ok! And I posted at three brooms :) ))
Michael was complimenting Summer on her clothes while Victor and Fawn were making out a little distanced. Becca was sitting on the edge of her seat as far away as she could sit from an odd boy dressed in a hideous yellow outfit with a dark green tie that seemed way too focused on a conversation he was having with no one in particular. Becca sat crossed legged with a horrified look on her face, dressed in a tight, short ocean blue dress and black stiletto heels with her hair curled and a little makeup on. Vladimir looked concerned already and tensed up.
"Hello Becca, let me start by saying you look amazing." Damien said trying to lighten the tense mood.
Becca perked up when she heard Damien. She ran to both of them with an upset face. "Did you see who Michael paid to be my date?" She asked in a horrified state. Vladimir had a pained expression and said, "h-he's not that b-bad. Give him a chance Rebecca. Maybe dinner will be a little better." Seeing the angry look she sent him, he said, "it's just one night, Rebecca. Do it for us. Your family. We didn't want to leave you alone. Just try to enjoy tonight as much as you can."
Damien stayed quiet looking at the kid then back at Rebecca. "Do you know anything about him?" He asked looking at the boy and back at her in disbelief Michael would get him for her.
"I didn't even know he existed until now," she said while glancing back at him in disgust, "all he's talked about was about how he hates the DADA teacher and how he polished floors the Muggle way." She hugged.Vladimir for comfort but he just sighed and pushed her back by her shoulders. "Rebecca," he began sternly, "Michael paid for you to have a good night with that young err, man. You will go do your best to enjoy yourself like a proper lady and be grateful your brother did you a kind act." She looked up at him and nodded obediently. "Remember your manners and where you belong, Rebecca Andrade," he replied with a strict voice. She straightened herself and had a blank look on her face, then turned around and walked back to the boy. Vladimir sighed and shook his head. "She forgets where she belongs sometimes. I have to be strict sometimes," he muttered.
"I have to remember not to freak out around you if you can do that," He said motioning to becca. "To her."
"You have to understand that she is a member of the most respected family of the Wizarding and Muggle Worlds. She is no longer a child, and now has the responsibility of the only young woman in the Andrade family that runs the entire business. She is to be a proper lady with manners. Not some silly schoolgirl whining about her own personal preferences," he explained in a cold voice as he watched his cousin, "our family is already ashamed of what happened with her and that Jackal. My duty is to keep her in check even though my family already disapproves of me falling in love with you. I don't care nor matter because I am of no importance within the Andrade business. My parents are luckily accepting of you and I and that's all that matters."Becca felt her heart break inwardly, but with months of practice, she didn't let any of her emotions show. She glanced back at Vladimir, and saw that he was staring at her. She cleared her throat and said, "I'm terribly sorry for not introducing myself properly. I am Rebecca Andrade, 6th year Slytherin." The boy looked up with a puzzled look. "I know, your brother paid me 20 Galleons to go out with you. Plus, you're really hot, so," he replied with a smirk. Becca forced a bitter smile and tried to contain herself.
"Vladimir I'm sorry but." He said walking away from him and towards the kid. "Oi you there." He said loudly while pulling the kid aside out of earshot of the rest of the family. "I don't care how much he payed you and really neither does she frankly now treat her nicely like your not a giant knob." He said looking down at him. "So act like your actually dating her not like your a prostitute or else." He said threateningly and dragged him back to becca and looked at him sharply before returning to Vlad.
The boy smirked and said, "I'm leaving. I already got paid for showing up, I don't need to take this load of crap," he said while getting up and sauntering away, "she's not even worth 20 galleons. Too troublesome and loud." Rebecca let out a sigh of relief as Vladimir turned to Damien. "Its worse than I thought. Looks like now is the time to tell her that we married her off," he replied as he started to walk to her. He told her with a stern look and she was on the verge of tears. "You can't do that! I haven't found my knight in shining armor," she said sadly, "oh you just can't. Please don't." She was on her knees crying in front of him. "I'm sorry. You had your chance, but you've made too many grave mistakes that we promised your hand in marriage. He gets here tomorrow from Durmstrang. Make sure to look presentable and that you remember your manners, Rebecca. This is your last chance to make our family proud. If you don't, the Andrade family will take drastic measures and disown you."
"Wait, hold on just a minute here!" Damien said getting there attention. "You guys can't do that she's already been through on marriage with a man she loved and he broke her heart now your going to make her get married again to a man she doesn't know or like." Damien said sharply. "What the hell is wrong with you people? You can't force love you can't force marriage it's a thing that needs nurturing and love and care nit just well here you go." Damien said looking at them all. "That's just wrong you can't do that to her and what if this guy doesn't want Rachael huh? What are you going to put her up for adopting you can't give her to john he's dead in two months. You people should be ashamed of yourselves!" He said angry now.
Vladimir sighed and put a hand on his shoulder. "We, as in Victor, Michael, and I didn't marry her off, Damien. The adults did. We can't do anything about it or we'll get disowned as well," he explained sadly as he watched Rebecca cry in pain, "its not our choice if he is going to put Rachael up for adoption or not. We just can't do anything. She made the mistake of falling in love with the wrong person, and now she is paying the price for it." Victor and Michael held back tears as they saw Becca crying. They had sent home Summer and Fawn earlier on.
"Well I do have my aunt and uncle they could always take you guys in." He said trying to think of a way she wouldn't be sent off.
Vladimir gave him a pained expression. "I'm sorry," he whispered as he pulled Becca on her feet. "Young lady, clean yourself up. You are embarrassing yourself again. You WILL make yourself presentable tomorrow, you WILL remember your manners, and you WILL treat your new husband with the utmost respect. Are we clear?" He replied sternly. She nodded her head in sadness, disbelief, and fear.
He sighed and sat down and closed his eyes trying to think of anything that would help.
Becca just walked off while shaking in fear. She knew who they were marrying her off to, she heard her parents discussing the matters if by any chance she didn't find a husband or suitable one, then they would marry her to the most feared boy of her age. She knew what he did to his previous wives and their children, and she shook with so much fear. Vladimir shook his head sadly and sat next to Damien. "I appreciate what you are trying to do, but I'm sure she'll be fine," he replied in an unsure tone.
"She going to kill herself if you do this two months after she goes off she'll hang herself in a closet on a dark moonless night she won't be found until morning though pale as a sheet." He said his voice grim.
Vladimir gave him an odd look. "She will not do it. She is not so selfish and inconsiderate that she would kill herself. She loves Rachael too much to leave her alone with that violent beast they are marrying her off to," he said angrily, "the only way she is not going, is if she finds someone else that proposes to her and is a suitable husband. Michael already tried money bribing, and no one will come forth. She is going, no matter what."
He sighed and put his head on Vlad's shoulder and wrapped his arms around him trying to think of something anything but, alas no avail.
Vlad hugged him tightly amd started weeping. "No, she doesn't deserve that. We need to find someone, anyone, who will marry her temporarily. It won't stop the tradition, but it'll give us some time. It'll give her more time in trying to find someone who will spend the rest of eternity with her and Rachael,"he explained, "I've seen what that man has done to his previous wives and children, and I don't want to see Rebecca and Rachael's names on gravestones."
"I could do it." He said to him softly eyes still closed.
"No, I'm not giving you up. Not ever," he replied as he got up, "maybe you have a single brother or male cousin or something?" He paced around, "or a single friend acquaintance, anything?"
"No intermediate family they're all dead but I do have a cousin whose coming at midnight tonight." He told him with a smile.
"Perfect. Well near perfect. It'll have to do," he replied with a small smile, "where shall we meet him?"
The lake." He said looking at Vlad with a smile as he hugged him.
Vlad hugged him tighter and kissed the top of his head. "Thank you so much," he replied, "I just hope I don't have to beat him up to agree."((wow its really late/early, so I think its about time I stop. I can't sleep, but its a little too late. G'nite!))
