Thank you so much for the reviews. So you guys may have noticed that I moved the fic and updated the character tags. Thank you for telling me about that. I apologise for not updating for so long, but the Christmas period is very busy for me and I've been non stop partying/working/revising for a while now. This one is short and we look at Maya and Adriana. I don't think I'll be able to update everyday like I did before but I will try to update weekly.

Disclaimer: Still don't own this :(

Chapter 13:

Adriana walked into the office with a spring in her step. She hummed a tune as Maya walked up behind her.

"Someone's in a good mood." She teased. Adriana smiled.

"I just had a good night." She said. Maya giggled and pulled Adriana into a cubicle.

"Oh I know." Maya said. She pulled out a black-and-white photograph. Adriana stared at it. It was her and Percival, right after they'd finished dancing. He was holding her so tightly.

"How did you get this?" Adriana asked.

"You know Albert?" Maya asked. Adriana frowned.

"Which one?" She asked. "The one in the magical creatures department or the Prophet reporter?"

"The Prophet reporter." Maya said. "Anyway, he asked me out and we went to that restaurant, and we saw you and Percival."

"How did we not notice you?" Adriana questioned aloud.

"You were busy talking with Purr-cival." Maya purred. "And Percival was too busy staring at you." Adriana felt her face go warm. "So Albert snapped a picture for me to give to you." Adriana nodded.

"I don't think it would work between us." Adriana admitted, flopping into Maya's spare chair. "I feel like if I try to do anything, I'd be taking advantage." Maya nodded sympathetically. Then she looked at the photo in Adriana's hand.

"Look at the picture. Look at him." Maya said with a sad smile. "Look at how he looks at you." Adriana stared at the photo and really looked at Percival. His mouth formed the widest smile she'd seen yet, looking a bit dorky. His eyes crinkled as he gazed at her with adoration and fondness. His face kept moving as he stared at her, as if trying to memorise her face. He was holding her close, like he didn't want to let go. Adriana wasn't much better. She practically leaning on him, revelling in the closeness.

"I don't know." Adriana said. It was too much. She shouldn't be having feelings for Percival. She should be trying to encourage him to go out. Even though the thought of someone else hurt, she couldn't keep him to herself.

"He loves you." Maya said. "Anyone with half a brain could see that." Adriana pursed her lips.

"What if he doesn't?" Adriana asked in a small voice. Maya rolled her eyes.

"You'll never know if you don't try." She said simply. "You can charge into a duel with no problem, but this is a challenge?" Adriana shrugged.

"We all struggle with something." She said wryly. She got up to leave.

"You'll try, won't you?" Maya asked. "I just want you to be happy." Adriana stopped at the door.

"I know Maya." She said. "Don't ever change."
