Meet up 3

[Shava]

Walking into the broomsticks, Asher glanced around and then shook his head. No, if she was waiting for him it wouldn't be in such a noisy place with so much feeling of chaos. They both wanted their heads clearer then that. Instead he exited and walked farther down the street to the Hog's Head and opened the door, stepping in and shutting it behind him quickly due to the wind. Seeing it only about a quarter full he grinned; much better. But then his smile faded again as he thought about somewhere much more appropriate and a glance around showed she was no in sight. "Damn it, she would be ahead of me on this..."

He left again and walked to the train station, easily the most deserted part of the village during this time of year. Walking over the tracks to a seemingly empty space (which only a sharp observer might have noticed was clear of snow) he pulled out his wand, tapped the air and it slid open allowing him to disappear inside. To a roaring fire in the fireplace. Yep, she beat him again. "Should have known. I gave them the time off so they are all three up north in the apartments Grandfather gave them. In case you were wondering." He shook off the snow and put his coat in the closet front before turning to the room at large.

"Feels good! How long have you been here to get that going already?" the room feeling quite toasty compared to outside. he stepped to the hall door as he listened, then held up a finger showing he would be right back. A quick step down to their room, he tapped the heaters to get them going as well, then returned back to the main room. "I can try and scrounge up some drinks, but hot water will take a few. Unless you already solved that little issue my dear?" Comes over to her chair and kisses her, long and soft...[/quote]

As plans went, she was rather proud of this one. She'd gotten take away from the three broomsticks and stashed it in the kitchen, and it hadn't taken her as long as she'd expected to get the fire going. It had taken some doing, but she didn't mind. She missed Ash now that they were going separate ways again, and the knowledge this would likely be the last time she saw him till summer weighed heavy, giving her incentive to make it a bit of a special moment. The door slid open and she exited the kitchen, smiling at him all bundled him and shivering slightly at the blast of cold air that came with him. "Merlin it is cold" she moved nearer to the fire, warding off the chill. Looking rather please by the whole effect of the room, she settles into a chair.

"I knew it was a bit too quiet in here" she answered, eyes amused. "Good to know Gerta is not just hiding from me." Enjoying the sight of him even more than she liked to admit, she hesitated at his question, "Not long, I had to make a few stops first." She gave him a triumphant look when he mentioned the water. "Actually I have", when he kissed her, she leaned into it responding in a way that makes it clear she missed him. She pulls away to stand and head for the kitchen. "Prepare to be impressed." She disappears for a few moments, returning a short while later with three containers, two of food and one of butterbeer. "I got takeaway from the three broomsticks" she informs him, "it is a rather rough-looking place is it not?" putting it down on the table. "I figured the others weren't here while you were in school, so I thought we might need something in case you were hungry."

She leans up and kisses him again, tenderly for a few moments. Five months, five whole months until she'd see him again, and it bothered her, the thought of being gone, and possibly even the thought of him being surrounded by other girls. She knew they'd chased him in the past, knew it was very probable they still chased him now. What was he like at Hogwarts, she wondered, and then tried to shake off the thought. "I have to be back in France in a couple of days to catch the carriages for school" she informs him. "But I should be ready to graduate early come the summer." She'd touched on the idea a few days before, had written the headmistress about it as well as consulting her dance instructors. She bit her lip, "guess its back to writing letters for us until then."

He laughed. "Gerta would never hide from you, silly, I just don't see the point of them being here in the winter when they can have their own time for themselves. Does make it kind of cool though having it all to ourselves, doesn't it?" His eyebrows went up as she agreed she had already figured out stuff, but the return kiss was enough to distract him completely. She broke away to go get some surprise and he took a seat on the couch nearest the fire, enjoying the warmth. When she returned he said "Oh ho! Sneaky indeed! I am impressed you were thinking so far ahead of me today!"

Makes a small, half serious face. "I must needs do something impressive in return. Hmm..." looking at her with a twinkle in his eye.

This kiss was far longer then the first, his side of it being very hungry in response for her, very aware of the passing time. How was it going to be when those last few months got closer and he knew she might finally be his in his arms and unable to escape him? Ever again? "Wow, that's fast! You aren't pushing yourself too hard are you Belle?" He watched her face as she answered, rather excited about the idea the day was so much closer then before. Reaching over he took up a container of butterbeer and took a sip saluting her before offering her the same.

"Time," he said his eyes not leaving hers for a moment, "it's hard stuff. I'm not sure how well I can convey how much I need you in mere words on a paper, Belle." he spoke quietly, but his mind was thinking ahead to what he really wished he wold have by then, rings. But no, they hadn't even mentioned those, he hadn't even let her think that far ahead really. "If I send you a note and it's smoking you never know I might have figured out how to send a passionate howler by then..." He grinned, hoping she would see he was joking about that part. [/quote]
