Cedric brought her to a tree and cast a spell and entered in it with a leap. She knew she couldn't fit in if she tried. She saw his hand extend from it and she clasped it. She found her self sucked into a portal of swirling colours before landing in a dark tunnel.
Cedric led Gen through the twisty tunnels, which seemed to grow darker and thicker with every step. Suddenly Genevieve saw stream and wondered if it as mysterious and dangerous as the Forbidden Forest River. The glowing goldness captivated her, but she was even more intersted when she saw Cedric walk on its surface. She looked down into the pond, shocked.
"You won't fall in," Cedric said. "It's like walking on a frozen river…slippery but you can do it." Gen stepped onto the pond surface and stopped by Cedric, looking down at the swirl of colours and oblivion. Suddenly it swirl and she could make out mermaids and underwater fairies living beneath the glassy surface. How romantic! There was a mermaid and merman in the centre and they danced, making Genevieve envious.
"I've always wanted to try it," Cedric said, and he turned his hopeful yet tremoring gaze to Genevieve. "But I've never had anyone to dance with." Genevieve looked at him and said nothing as he clasped her soft hand in his strong one, raising it high and placing his other hand snugly on her waist. The sounds of a symphony sprang up around them.
Cedric and Gen glided steps, slow at first, adjusting to the icy surface, but quickly the glides picked up and followed perfectly with the dance of the mermaids. He and Gen began to laugh and danced down the river. They did not seem to have to move themselves at all, the ice did it for them They spun in a circle, moving closer until their faces were barely inches away. Then suddenly the music stopped. Gen blushed and let go of Cedric's hand, wishing she could have kept that moment forever.
