Chapter the Tenth.
"And this is my common room, it's where all of the Gryffindors hang out." Daine explained. For the past hour or so she had dragged Numair all around the castle. The end of his guided tour was the Common Room.
"I see. Now where exactly is the library from here?" Daine rolled her eyes.
"C'mon I'll show you." Leading him by the hand, while he gaped at moving stairs and pictures, Daine made her way to the library. She pushed open the old door and shoved Numair into the room. Closing the door softly she tunred to face him. His mouth was wide open and flapping soundlessly like a fish.
As she passed him Daine pushed his jaw up. Smiling she seemlingly grabbed a book at random.
"You know how you've been trying to fine tune your burn healing potion? It's all in here! You were just one teaspoon of cinnamon short." She tossed the book at his chest and giggled as he fumbled to catch it. He flipped the pages and was instantly whisked away into his own little land of magic.
Daine shook her head and ran the tip of her finger lightly over the dusty books. Seeing the title she wanted she pulled it out and set it at the desk which Numair had sat down at. She needed it for her Charms homework. Despite knowing that she would shortly be going home Daine kept on ignoring it and telling herself she would just need to finish her homework first.
A few silent moments later Daine put down her book and turned her chair towards Numair, who also placed his book down at the sound of the chair screeching across the floor.
"Numair? How long will it be before we go home?"
"Ah, I'm afraid it won't be for another few days at least. I need to replenish my magic before we go or else we won't be able to get home."
"But you said you don't need to use magic!" Daine said, confused.
"Not for the actual travelling you don't. But during the ah.. journey you're exposed to millions of universes and possibilities of life. If you did not have some sort of shield from it all you would die. And to shield yourself from it all is tiring, but with another... And I don't want to risk you. Not after I've found you." Numair smiled tenderly and dropped a small kiss on the top of her head, "I'm sorry Daine."
"Don't be. It's not your fault. Besides I'll have a little more time here this way." She too smiled, "Well, we'd better be off. Else we'll be late for potions."
"We?" Numair asked puzzledly.
"Yes of course we. If I let you stay in here all day I won't be able to get you to go home." Daine grinned at Numair's mock indignation, and tugged on his hand. For what must have been the thousandth time that day she grabbed him by the hand and led him through the castle.
********
I am so very sorry! I had no idea it was going to be this short! You see I always write on Sunday evenings so that I can update on Monday mornings except my mum has just come clomping up the stairs and has told me we're going to see my gran! So I have to go now and I am really sorry!!!! But I promise The next chapter will be ever so long. But anyways, at least I've figured out how to keep Daine at Hogwarts for a little longer (jeez I sound like a kidnapper ^_~)
Toodles,
