Nikita managed to apparate (Don't worry, she's allowed. She past the test.) outside of Diagon Alley without anyone seeing her. She walked over to Derick and greeted him. They also hugged and kissed. It was awkward seeing them do this standing (even when Nikita had heels on) because Derick was a whole head taller than she was when they were both standing flat-footed.
They decided to go to a nice little coffee shop in downtown London. A local band was playing there. Derick's older brother was the guitarist and lead singer in the band. Nikita knew that it meant a lot for Derick that she was going, and she was happy to be there. She was happy to be anywhere outside her dad's closet for that matter. She was getting sick of looking at the walls of her dad's closet.
They went inside and sat down. The band Derick's brother was in was just starting to play their songs. Nikita ordered a French Vinilla Cappachino and Derick ordered a hot chocolate.
"So, when can I meet your dad?" Derick asked.
"I'm not really sure. It's probably not going to be real soon," Nikita said, sipping her cappuchino.
"Why not?" Derick asked as he took a sip of his hot chocolate.
Well, he's not over the fact that I'm dating a muggle or the non-magical person," Nikita explained again.
"Oh, right." Derick turned red because it was only the five-millionth time Nikita told him that.
"Your brother has a nice voice!" Nikita said as the band played a loud rock song.
"What? Did you say my brother has a nice arse?" Derick called back.
"Voice, not arse," Nikita said, beginning to laugh. Derick went even more red.
After they were done in the coffee shop, they went back to Derick's house. They went down to the basement to watch a movie.
Derick put the movie into the DVD player and dimmed the lights. He then walked over to teh coutch were Nikita was sitting and they watched the movie.
Derick's younger sister came down to the basement half way through the movie. Nikita and Derick didn't realize that she came down becasue they fell asleep before she came down.
"Hello," came a small, meak voice.
"What the...?" Derick jumped off the couch. "What do you want you little brat?"
"I just wanted to see what you were doing," Derick's little sister said innocently.
"Get out. This movie isn't for little kids like you," Derick said.
"Make me," she said.
"Mum! Janelle is down here and she won't leave me and Nikita alone!" Derick called up the stairs.
"Janelle, leave your brother and his girlfriend alone!" a female voice called down the stairs.
Janelle stuck her tounge out with disgust at them. Derick and Nikita gave an evil grin back at her as she turned and went back up the stairs.
"Sorry about that. She does that when all my friends are over. She just hasn't learned to leave me alone yet," derick appologized.
"It's alright. I don't mind, really," Nikita said reassuringly. She gave him a kiss to make it final. They went back to watching the movie.
After the movie, they went upstairs for a snack. Nikita looked at the microwave clock and realized how late it was.
"Oh geeze. I didn't realize it was so late," Nikita began to panic.
"It's only 10:30. It's not really that late." Derick brought her closer to try and soothe her.
"But the grounds gate lock at 10:00. My dad's gonna freak!" Nikita broke from Derick and began running around in circle's around the kitchen, wondering what she ewas going to do.
"I'm sure your dad won't be that mad." Derick stopped her from breaking into a sprint.
"He'll probably lock me in the closet for a month." Nikita stared at him.
"Why would he do that? Don't parents normally send you to your room?" Derick was extreamly confused.
"That is my room," Nikita said embarassedly.
"A closet is your room?" Derick struggled hard to hold back a laugh.
"I'm being serious." Nikita gave him an angered look. He stopped laughing. "My dad is that mean to me. My dad tried stopping me from coming tonight."
"How did you manage to get here then?"
"The headmaster of the school managed to stop him from hurting me before I got out the door." Nikita looked at her hands, now cupped in Dericks.
"That would explain the bruises," Derick said, pulling up her sleves and looking at her arms.
"Please don't say anything to anyone." Nikita looed at Derick, their eyes meeting. He saw her pleads and nooded his head in agreement.
"I promise. No one." Derick gave her a kiss.
"I really don't want to leave, but I've wasted another 5 minutes. I'll try my heardest to get back next Friday." Nikita gave him a hug and then went to the door and left.
Derick went after her to say goodbye one last time. By the time he got to the door, opened it, and looked around, she was gone.
"C-ya Friday sweetheart." Derick went back inside, went to his room and changed, and went to sleep.
