Chapter twenty-five

Christmas Dance part one

Laenna p.o.v

Ever since Xavier had a talk with Dumbledore, he'd been distant. It was around Christmas and Leslie and I had plans to check out Romania so we could check out some vampire facts. Lexi was happy to join us. Lilly wanted to go too, but her parents thought it wasn't fair for her to go while her sister (who I've heard little about) didn't get to go anywhere. And apparently they were going to America. I asked all the boys if they wanted to come, and I got an affirmative from James, Sirius (I doubt he asked but oh well) and a nugatory from Remus and Peter, but Xavier hadn't answered. As we finished potions class, Xavier and I walked back in silence, passing several posters about the Christmas dance that was taking place. I am honestly hoping to get asked by Xavier. Lilly is going with Severus and Lexi is going with Remus. I don't know beyond that.

"Laenna, what would you do if I was Voldemorts son?" Xavier suddenly asked. I turned to face him. So that's whats bothering him. He thought I'd think differently because of a different parent.

"Why would I care?" I asked. "It's not like Voldemort is any different than Lokar," all of a sudden he seemed more relaxed.

Xaveir p.o.v

I should have told her then but when I opened my mouth an entirely different question came out.

"Wanna go to the dance?" I asked. Laenna smiled so wide it reflected her whole face.

"Love too!" she enthusiastically answered. I smiled back as she ran down to the great hall to study. I ran to the common room.

"Oh like you weren't planning to ask her," joked Leslie.

"Stupid vampire hearing!" I mumbled. She shrugged.

"Say what you will, you totally fancy her. Ten bucks says you have your first kiss with her."

"Your on," I told her. Laenna came up.

"Lae, grab Lilly and Lexi, let's go dress shopping." Leslie announced. Lae smiled and left again. I sighed at her abundant energy.

Laenna p.o.v

We were ready to go. Leslie and Lexi were flying us to New York city to go dress shopping. We ran around times square getting everything we needed before they flew us home. Tomorrow was the dance, and boy was I excited.

Yep, I'm going to be evil and make you wait. :)
