Her eyes widened in surprise and she stood motionless for a second, then Daryll nudged her and she snapped out of it with a grin, she watched Daniel's reaction which was similar to hers and giggled softly, he looked up at her and winked causing a light blush to grace her cheeks . Professor McGonagall beamed at them both and carried on with her speech "At any rate, you are all dismissed except the Heads... I need to give them their briefing." She smiled and waited for the crush of teenagers to leave the carriage, Daryll gave her a reassuring squeeze and then left, Cora could see her eying Troy already, she rolled her eyes with a grin and then walked over to take her seat next to Daniel, she sat near to him, but not too near and took a grounding breath, whilst doing so she caught a whiff of Daniel's scent which only succeeded in increasing her heart rate, she smiled as Professor McGonagall took her seat across from them and addressed them both. "Well done you two, I trust that you two will be incredibly reliable Heads and of course you both know that now that you're our heads you will have a joint dormitory so that if any student needs to find you, you'll be in the same place, I hope there's no problem with that?" she looked at them both and Cora shook her head at almost the same time as Daniel had. She smiled at him and he returned the grin. Professor McGonagall carried on "So, Now, I'd like you both the walk down the carriage and make sure we have no miscreants" she smiled warmly and nodded "you are now dismissed."
Cora and Daniel stood and walked out of the carriage, she turned to him with a light smile "Well done! You really deserve to be Head Boy!" He returned her smile and his eyes glittered playfully "So do you! Only Head Girl… Um yeah.." he blushed and cleared his throat, she smiled "Shall we go check down the carriages?" he nodded and smiled "Let's go!" she smiled and walked through the door joining their carriage with the next one and turned to him "You take left I'll take right?"
He nodded slightly in confirmation so she turned to the first door on the left and opened it, swiftly becoming faced with Daryll and Troy making out "Oh! My apologies, I'm sorry!" she blushed wildly and quickly slammed the door she saw Daniel raise an eyebrow and she giggled "Daryll and Troy" his eyes widened and he started laughing uncontrollably "I knew it was coming sooner or later" he finally managed and she smiled, giggling herself a little "Yeah, I've always had my suspicions.." she tucked a stray curl behind her ear and noticed with a light blush that Daniel's eyes followed her movement, she grinned at him and opened the second door down, she smiled at the occupants "About 10 minutes till we get to Hogwarts" she smiled and nodded to them.
After her and Daniel had managed the whole train they walked back to their carriage and collected their belongings that weren't going straight to the castle, after the train stopped, she and Daniel watched all the students regroup with their friends and get on the necessary coaches to take them back to Hogwarts, she sighed happily and leant on one of the pillars, when Daniel raised his eyebrow at her she giggled "I love being back, it's all so.. Exciting" she grinned and poked her tongue out at him, he chuckled and nodded "I agree, and there's another thing I come back for.." he smiled and her breath caught "What?" she managed to choke out, he surveyed her for a second, his eyes playful then he smiled "I'll tell you another time." He shrugged and walked towards their carriage. She shook her head with a grin but trotted after him, clambering into the carriage and grinning at him.
When they arrived to the castle, Cora's eyes widened, she never could get used to the awe she felt when she was faced with the mammoth castle, she grinned and walked into the main gates, she picked up her bag and walked towards hers and Daniel's dorm. She walked in and looked at the common room, it was huge and elegantly furnished with a cream and burgundy colour scheme, there were three plush sofas pushed to one side of the room, they were assembled around a low oak table with a portrait of Dumbledore on the wall on the right side of the room there were two desks were against the wall evidently for herself and Daniel to study. She looked at the two doors, her eyes lighting up, on the left was a door with the Gryffindor emblem on the door and on the right was a door with the Slytherin emblem on it, she walked to the Slytherin door and opened it tentatively, she gasped in surprise, the room was beautiful! There was a four poster bed in the centre with a bedside table on either side a wardrobe to the left of the door, the colour scheme was a typical green and silver. She smiled and walked towards the bed, letting her finger trail along the sheets, she put her stuff on her bed and walked back into the common room, she made to start the fire so she could settle down to read a book when the door open and Daniel walked through.
He looked up and smiled at her "Hey Cora" she grinned back "Hey there, like it?" his eyes were bright as he nodded his response "It's amazing!" she smiled and turned back to the fire and started it up before settling near the fire leaving Daniel to sort out his things, she soon lost herself in the fantastical world of his book and zoned out, she was only roused an hour later when Daniel's door reopened and he walked out with his hair damp, she looked up and smiled "hey.. We get en-suites?" she smiled "I wondered what that door was!" she giggled and set her book down alongside her, she followed Daniel's movements as he moved to sit next to her "Hey you never told me the second reason for coming back" she grinned and he looked up at her, his eyes suddenly taking on a serious light "Well, you see.. It's... you."
