Chapter Thirty-Six

"Beautiful," I say as I stepped away from Hermione, "Now you look perfect,"

Hermione looked into the mirror and smiled as a faint blush rose up on her cheeks. I smirk as I put the make up brush I used to do her make up down. Tracy burst into the room half dressed while shouting, "Kai we need to-" She stopped short to stare at Hermione in shock, "Holy shit! Hermione looks hot!"

I let out a small chuckle, "Tracy she always does, but tonight she's going to shine brighter than usual."

Hermione's blush darkened at my words. I waved them both out and put everything away before following the two. The other girls were staring at Hermione in shock before Susan asked, "How? How can you make her look so good with makeup when you never wear any yourself?"

"Painting, drawing, and a whole bunch of other artistic stuff made it easy," I answer with a small grin, "I learned for some missions I went on during my time as a mage since sometimes I couldn't use magic to change my appearance,"

"Damn," Hannah murmured.

With Law and the boys

"Damn they're taking so long!" One of the more impatient members of the group said.

"They're girls so they take longer to get ready," Another one said.

Law held back an annoyed sigh. Honestly he would rather be in any other place at the moment then listen to teenagers whine. He reflected on why he was here and wondered if it would actually be worth it. He really hated being deaged and now knew why it had bothered Kaileara so much. Someone sucking in a harsh breath made him look at the stairs. He had to admit everyone walking down them looked amazing. Hermione was dressed in a flowing red dress with fire stitched into the fabric. One shoulder was bare while the other was covered in a red mesh. Her hair was done in a classic teachers bun with a few fly away strands artfully arranged to frame her face. She had the barest hint of make up on, but it really complimented her. Fred moved forward and met his date at the bottom of the stairs while saying, "You look beautiful Mia."

"Thank you," She murmured softly and the two moved away from the stairs.

The next one down was Hannah who would be going with Neville. Her dress was rather simple. It was a pale pink spaghetti strap dress. Her hair was up like Hermione's, but you could actually see the badger pin holding it in place. Neville met her at the stairs and smiled softly, "You look amazing Hannah."

"You look good as well," She said before the two moved off to the side.

Following Hannah was Susan. She wore a bright red ball gown shaped dress with a soft red under side. Her hair was down and had obviously been grown out for the occasion. It fell in small waved down to the small of her back. Blaise met her at the bottom of the stairs with a smile, "Susan."

"Blaise," She replied and the two walked off.

Next to come down was Tracy, Daphne, and Fleur. Tracy wore a short black dress with a ruffled skirt. Her hair was held up in a purposeful mess. Daphne wore an ice blue evening gown with small snow flakes stitched into the fabric. Her hair was down in a soft, yet flavorful wave. Fleur wore a simple pale blue evening gown dress. Her hair was down and curled slightly at the bottom. She met George at the bottom of the stairs and the two walked over to where Hermione and Fred stood. Luna walked down with her usual dreamy smile on her face. Her hair was done in simple blonde ringlets. Her dress was a dark blue ruffled dress with a black outline on the edges of all the ruffles. She was met by Draco at the bottom of the stairs. The blonde male murmured, "You look beautiful my moon."

Luna smiled in acknowledgement, "Let's go see 'Mione. She looks like the nargles are going to get her."

Law turned slightly and almost chuckled at the sight. Hermione was trying and failing to keep her possessive glare at bay as she spoke to Fleur. The french champion was taking the normally bookish girl's intimidation rather well. He heard someone say, "Holy shit!"

Law turned and felt his mouth go slightly dry. Kaileara was walking down the stairs slowly with her eyes on him. Her lips were quirked in a small smile. She wore a beautiful black evening gown much like Daphne. Her arms were covered slightly by a black swath of silk, but it did nothing to hide the marks that rested on her arms. Her hair was done in ringlet's like Luna's only it also held various feathers. He was rather surprised to see her wearing something other than the necklace Luffy-ya gave her. The necklace that held the ring was still there, but over top of it was the only other necklace he had given her. It was a rather simple chain necklace with the Hearts Pirates symbol hanging from it. It fit perfectly around her neck like a choker or collar. His eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the red haired boy that Kaileara disliked walking towards her with a cocky smile on his ugly face. Oh that boy would die very soon.

With Kaileara

I stared into Law's eyes and felt my cheeks heat up slightly. Damn he's making me blush and not just from looking at him. He wore a black tux with a white dress shirt underneath it. His tie was black with his jolly roger in white. I felt a burst of happiness and possessive joy at knowing her was mine. I however scowled upon seeing Ronald walking towards me. I glared at the boy as he smiled cockily, "You look wonderful enough for me to forgive you. I'll even take you as my dat-"

"You are mistaken Mr. Weasley," Law's polite drawl sounded causing most conversation to stop, "Kaileara-ya,"

"Law," I smiled softly and walked over to him, "You look good tonight,"

"And you look beautiful," He said and took my hand, "I hope this boy isn't bothering you too badly,"

"Now that you're here he is not," I murmur before offering the now flushed red head a raised eyebrow, "May we help you Mr. Weasley?"

"You said that you were going with-" Ronald began only to be cut off by the arrival of the Founders.

"Ah there you all are," Helga smiled at us, "Now every save for the champions and their dates should go into the great hall,"

Ronald stayed behind causing Godric to turn to him with a raised eyebrow, "Mr. Weasley? What are you doing here?"

"I-" He began only for Law to speak.

"He was bothering my fiance," Law answered causing Ronald to blush, "It seems he had some absurd idea of Kaileara-ya agreeing to be his date when she had asked me just after the weighing of the wands ceremony,"

Ronald gaped at Law while I nodded. Godric sighed and gave Ronald a small glare, "Go into the the great hall. I will deal with you later."

Ronald yelped at being given a glare by the founder and ran to the great hall. The other champions and their dates chuckled over the sight. Law held my hand as we turned towards the doors. His presence settled any nerves that wanted to make themselves known easily. When it was time to dance, I got lost both in his presence and the music that surrounded us. When it ended and we went to sit down, I leaned against him and murmured, "This is nice."

He chuckled softly, "I will admit that it is though I do wish we could be in our older forms."

I hum in agreement, "No doubt it would both be much more comfortable and enjoy this a lot more."

He nodded and we ordered our food. Much to the amusement of Law, ramen was one of the items on the menu. I proceeded to eat as much as my body could hold much to the surprised horror of those sitting at the table with me. When I was finally finished my ramen and moving onto dessert, Cho Change, Cedric Diggory's date asked, "How can you possibly eat more? You're so small!"

I chuckle softly and shrug, "Small I maybe, but when it comes to ramen, I will gladly eat as much as possible."

"You never stopped to even breath," Cedric murmured causing me to chuckle, "How did you not gag on all that?"

"Selective gag reflex," I answer causing those at the table next to us and at my table to choke on their drinks, "What?" I look at them with faux innocent confusion, "Is that bad?"

Law stayed quite as he chuckled in amusement. It seemed now that he got to witness it, he realized how funny it was when people found out about that particular talent of mine. I almost giggled at remembering the look on his face when he found out. Ah that had been way too amusing. I was brought from those memories as someone stuttered out, "N-no."

I snickered at the stutter only to be cuffed over the head by Hermione. Hermione looked at me with a slight glare, "We're here to have fun not to mess with our guests minds Captain."

I merely offered my second first mate a smirk, "But messing with them is fun."

She rolled her eyes as we ignored everyone's confusion over the word captain though it made quite a few officials eyes narrow, "While fun, we are here to make a good impression."

"But I am making a good impression," I mock protest, "I'm trying to fool these idiots into thinking I'm an innocent little shit like they want to believe me to be," I pause before letting out a fake gasp and mock frowning, "Damn I revealed my master plan. The horror,"

Hermione rolled her eyes as most of the officials gap at us, "Kai there is a time and a place for everything, but now is not the time."

"Fine ruin my fun," I gave a mock dramatic sigh before giving the girl a raised eyebrow, "So what are you doing over here?"

"Tracy and the others wanted to know if you would be dancing with all of us?" I hum in thought before looking at Law.

"Do you mind if I do?" I ask causing him to shrug.

"Do as you like, but save me the last dance," He answered causing me to nod and rise from my seat gracefully.

"Of course you are my date after all," I agree before turning to Hermione, "Shall we m'lady?"

"Oh you flirt," We smile at each other before walking onto the dance floor.

An hour later

I escaped the great hall and head into the small gardens I had helped set up with Neville. The flowers filled the air with a sweet scent that went well with the winter air causing those walking through the garden to feel at peace. I took a deep breath of the fresh scents and sighed softly as they washed over me. I was so at peace that I didn't notice when Law walked up behind me until he wrapped his arms around my waist. I leaned against him with a small sigh and murmured, "Peace feels nice."

He chuckled and laid his head on mine. We stood together for a while; lost to the world in each others presence. I think that's one of the things I had missed most during the times I was away from him. Times like this, we could just stand or sit together for hours without a word even said between us. It was one of the sweeter things in life that I couldn't live without now that I've had it. I hated when a thought popped into my head, but I really wanted to know what he thought about the matter, "Law?"

"Hm?" He didn't bother moving.

"Is it odd that we can just sit or stand like this for hours at a time?" I ask softly, "I mean it's not that I don't like it, but..."

"But you just want to know?" He asked with amusement clear in his voice, "I don't think it's odd,"

"Is being able to do this one of the things you like about me?" I ask while turning in his hold to look up at him.

"Yes," He answered without hesitation, "Why ask?"

"Just wanted to know," I answer causing him to chuckle softly.

"Always inquisitive," He murmured before leaning down to press a kiss to my lips.

I hum and lean against him when we parted. We continued to stand there in the garden and I felt at peace at that exact moment...Perhaps even more so now that I know his answers. Peace wouldn't last, but maybe that's the reason it existed. Maybe peace existed because while war and chaos is needed, a reprieve is needed to heal us of our burdens and give us a reason to fight...Perhaps peace like this is why I continue to live and fight.

End of a chapter. I know that it's short, but I'm giving a new chapter each day, so...it's okay?
