pairing/character: dominiquelysander

It was quiet in the Burrow as Dominique hung up the stockings. She'd done it every year; it was part of her Christmas tradition. She'd been doing it since she was twelve years old. Now, she was twenty-one and, while all of the Weasley grandchildren were now teenagers at the youngest, it was a tradition they still maintained. Most of her family was scattered through the house, doing various things. Victoire, Lucy, and Molly were all in the kitchen with their gran, fixing the big Christmas dinner. Most of the boys were outside, playing some muggle game called her Aunt Audrey had told them about a few years before. The only boy who wasn't outside was Lysander Scamander. The boy was supposed to be helping her finish with the decorations but he'd been spending the most of the time, pouting on the couch. He and Lucy had had a fight earlier that day and he'd been in a foul mood since.

"Why is she so mad at me? I don't know what I did wrong."

Dominique couldn't helped but roll her eyes. She'd never been a fan of the dramatics some of her cousins chose to partake in. She preferred things to be simple and non-stressful. But somehow that just always meant she was the one everyone went to when they needed to vent or rant or whatever. If she didn't love her family so much, she would've put an end to it years ago. "She's just frustrated with you that's all. She's not mad. She just wants some time on her own to think stuff over."

"But why is she frustrated with me? What did I do? And what does she need to think about? Last time I checked everything was fine with us." At this point, he was pacing around the living room, hand running through his messy hair.

"She thinks you're losing interest. You're guys' relationship has hit a plateau and she thinks that if exciting things don't start happening between you two that aren't normal for you, your relationship will fall apart."

"…So, what do I do?"

"Take some chances. Surprise her. Do something crazy. Not too crazy, though. Don't need the ministry coming after you because you went too far."

"…Would it be too much if I asked her to marry me?"

For once, Dominique had no idea what kind of advice to give.


Review. I will love you for it.
