CHAPTER 4

Daisy turned off the shower and reached for her towel. She rubbed herself dry and started moisturizing her legs. She was singing.

She pulled on her underwear, smiling. She was thinking, thinking of him. How he made her feel as if she was on fire every time he touched her hand or her shoulder or anywhere in fact, how he made her feel special, how he made her feel loved. She couldn't deny her feelings any longer, and right now, she didn't feel she wanted to.

" Furnacio hair ", she muttered. Her hair dried instantly. She now applied her makeup. She didn't need much but she wanted to look special tonight. Special for him. She hummed softly. She couldn't explain her sudden nonchalant view on her tender feelings for Oliver, her childhood playmate.

She now took her dress robes from the cream tissue paper. They were very pale blue and had light floaty sleeves. There was also a pair of silver stilettos. Daisy laughed as she put these on. At least she would be nearly up to Oliver shoulder with these on.

She looked down at her watch. Time to meet Oliver. She pulled on her traveling cloak. He would have to wait until the ball to see her properly.

***

They had arrived. The castle stood on a flat hill. The grassed area behind it was used as a kind of parking area. Daisy and Oliver landed and were immediately greeted by a small, squat creature with large turquoise eyes and a mop of white hair. Daisy and Oliver had both continued with Care of Magical Creatures (an option in 5th Year), so they knew that this creature was a Snow Fairy.

"Greetings, young ones. Would you follow me please, miss. I will take you to get refreshed before the ball."

The creature spoke in a foreign accent. It looked at Oliver and said, "You will please follow Remi. RRRRRRemi!"

Another fairy appeared. This one had golden eyes.

"See you in a minute, Oliver." Daisy smiled at him and disappeared into a doorway to their left.

***

Oliver's jaw dropped. She stood in the doorway, blushing. Her robes flowed around her like an ocean, giving her hips and chest definition. His eyes traveled up to her face, which looked even more radiant and beautiful than ever. He was speechless. He wanted to kiss those full lips and hold her fragile body in his arms.

"You are the most beautiful girl on earth, Dais," he breathed.

Daisy blushed deeper.

"No, I'm not!" she retaliated but she looked pleased all the same.

She noticed how good he looked too.

Oliver took her arm and led her down to the hall.

After a brief introduction by Pierce Clearwater, the education minister (during which Oliver and Daisy could hardly take their eyes off each other) the dancing began.

"Will you dance with me Daisy?"

She smiled.

He wrapped his muscular arms around her waist and she draped her arms around his neck. She still had to stretch a bit, despite the stilettos!

He pulled her closer. They both blushed. She leaned her head on his well- built chest. She breathed in his masculine scent. He felt her small frame enclosed by his arms and that was the moment when he knew for sure. He was hopelessly, helplessly head-over-heels in love with her.

He leaned down a bit to whisper in her ear.

"Um- Daise, do you want to - go somewhere?"

She blushed. She had a good idea of what he wanted to tell her.

"Yeah." She smiled.

They walked outside. It was a beautiful night. The castle grounds had been lit up with tiny candles. Daisy and Oliver continued walking, past the rose garden, past the refreshment stalls, into the deep velvet of the grass.

They stopped under a lemon tree. Oliver turned to face Daisy. She looked up at him. He was so attractively close, and they were so attractively alone.

"Oliver, I need to tell - "

Her words were cut off by his lips on hers. She closed her eyes and gently kissed him back, just letting him hold her. His arms rested in the small of her back. They pulled away, both of them reddening.

"You know, I've always wanted to know if Casper Jordan was right when he said you were a good kisser, Dais."

Oliver smiled as he whispered into her ear. Daisy blushed a deeper shade of crimson.

"And was he, Oliver?"

Daisy looked up at him, smiling charmingly.

"Nah."

Daisy looked appalled. Oliver gave a deep laugh as he leaned closer.

"You're not a good kisser, you're an amazing kisser, Dais."

She tried to smack his arm playfully but he caught her hand in his.

She felt his strong hands holding her delicate ones. Their eyes locked and they drew closer.

"You know - it takes two to tango Oliver," Daisy whispered before their lips met and they were once more lost in each other.
