Nikolai decided on his doggy form today. Not only because he needed to do some sneaking around, but because it was much easier to be touched and be around people when he was this itty bitty beagle puppy running around. Hell, he was the cutest beagle there was, big ears flopping around everywhere and his tiny little howl.
However, the real reason he made his way back to Hogsmeade was because Irina was acting incredibly weird. He wasn't sure exactly what it was, but Niko had a feeling it had to do with a boy. He had been making his way through the streets and grassy areas for awhile now, waiting to see his sister so he could go bark and make her pet him. She wasn't so easy to find, as he had been wandering for awhile now. But when he did find her, she was sitting on a blanket in the grass. Oh! Niko ran over there, his little doggy feet going each and every way, and when he was in front of her, his tongue hung out of his mouth as he panted, his tail wagging an incredible amount.

Irina was waiting for someone in Hogsmeade. No, not just someone. Daniel Hoh. From the moment he re-entered her life when he stepped off the Durmstrang ship, things had been quite a whirlwind. She found herself with feelings for her brothers best friend, feelings that she had intended to keep to herself, until he admitted he felt the same way. Since then there had been kissing, food fights, more kissing, serious talks, and a few healthy snogs. When she had had a nightmarish vision , Dan had been there to comfort her. Likewise, when Dan had an emotional overload, Irina was there for him. It had fallen into a natural sort of routine, something Irina would have laughed at two months ago.
She looked up and down the road, bouncing on her toes as she normally did when she was anxious. She decided to set up a blanket on the grassy area nearby to keep herself busy while she was waiting. As she settled herself down, a beagle puppy came bounding up to her, tail wagging and tongue out. "Oh my gosh, how cute you are!" she squealed, reaching out and scratching him between his ears. She looked around, worried that she didn't see an owner anywhere. Wouldn't his owner miss a puppy this adorable? "Where's your owner little guy?" she cooed, scooping him up into her lap to cuddle with. He'd do until Dan got there.

Dan was still in awe over the past few weeks and still avoided the topic of really talking about 'feelings' and whatnot. He just liked it the way it was. Simple, sweet and foolish. However, he knew he couldn't carry on like this forever. Eventually he had to talk to Nik and eventually he had to own up to how he felt about Irina Krum. Maybe, just maybe, today could be that day. They were planning to meet on the grass in the village and he was running late, partly on purpose. he didn't know why but for some reason he felt like maybe some waiting would do her and him some good. By the time he reached her, however, there was an adorable puppy playing with her. He loved dogs, especially since he couldn't sense their emotions. He smiled as he made his way over. "I guess I've been replaced," he said, gesturing at the dog in her lap. He smiled softly, moving to sit beside her and placing a hand on the grass next to her. "Hi," he said, leaning over to kiss her, not realizing they were in public until it was too late. @nikolai i'm too lazy to look up your tagIrina Rose Krum

Irina Rose Krum , @daniel OOC: How in public are they? Because Nikolai will be transforming back into his human form...but neither Dan nor Irina know he's an animagus so HAHAHA <3 Nikolai shook his tail even more at Irina's reaction. Oh, he knew he was cute. She scratched his ears and he stuck his neck out more, enjoying the feeling. He noticed her looking around worriedly, and Niko tried to get her to pay more attention to him; Niko didn't want to take the risk of her asking people if they knew who owned this dog. Then he'd probably be taken somewhere. Rolling over onto his back with his tongue hanging out, he shook his little body on the grass. She then pulled him into her lap and he curled up, enjoying the cuddles.
His eyes were then forced away from her when he saw...Dan? What? Well, that's nice he was coming to talk - what. Did Niko just see that? Did that really just happen? That wasn't normal. That was...not okay. His puppy blood began to boil, and he sat up, looking at Dan, trying to glare at him, but it probably just looked like he was watching him. Niko growled low, and he shook his head and began howling at Dan. Why did he just kiss his sister?!

Irina smiled as Dan came and sat down next to her, and was pleasantly surprised that he kissed her. “Nah he was just a placeholder while you kept me waiting,” she teased, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear. She held up the puppy in front of her. “But isn’t he so sweet? Now that I think about it, he might actually be your biggest competition for my affections,” she added with a smirk. She reached out and gently squeezed his hand, to reassure him that she was only joking.
At that point the puppy began to howl at Dan, causing Irina to laugh. “Awww buddy, it’s okay, Dan’s a good guy I promise!” she said, trying to pet him to get him to calm down. “And he’s a good kisser, I guess,” she teased, leaning over and kissing Dan again. Maybe it was just a baby animal thing, or maybe it was because Dan had kissed her first, but Irina felt very giddy and happy just then. Laughing, she set the dog down on the grass and turned to Dan. “Well, we have the whole day ahead of us to do...whatever we want. I just need to stop in Honeydukes to grab some chocolate for Tania; her panic attacks still have me worried,” she told him. She gave the puppy a little pat and then stood up. “Bye puppy!” she cooed as she reached out her hand for Dan to take.

Dan grinned as she called the dog a placeholder, "that's nice. But he is a little cuter than me," he agreed, nodding toward the dog when Irina said he was cute. Then it hit him, that he had just kissed Irina in a public place. Her giddy feelings and his giddy feelings were confusing him and he leaned back, bending his knees and setting his elbows on top of them. When the dog perked up, Dan raised an eyebrow at it, leaning back slightly. He was growling at him? What? Normally dogs loved Dan and he loved them. He frowned, looked to Irina for guidance. Irina tried to explain that Dan was a good guy, and a good kisser... she guessed!? His jaw dropped but he was trying not to smile. That teasing energy was making his head spin, in a good way. As she went on about having the whole day ahead of them and at the mention of Tan he frowned, "are they bad again?" he sighed, taking her hand when offered to stand. @jill9 Irina Rose Krum (I'd say they're just under some trees... pretty out in the open. be he can always walk behind a tree if he has an issue.)

A good kisser?! What? What the hell was going on? Nikolai barred his teeth at his best friend. Why were they acting like this? Is that way Irina had been so weird in her owls?
Nikolai ran a bit further away from them, barking, but in front of their bodies. He growled at Daniel again, and Nikolai couldn't stand the anger that was rising inside of him. Slowly but surely, the little cute happy beagle puppy in front of them grew; human legs, feet, all the way until it had a torso and then...the face of Nikolai Krum.
The face that he had specifically, was angry as all hell. "Dan! Get.. Off. My. Sister. NOW." Nikolai glared at Dan, and then began running after him. "What the HELL is wrong with you?!"

Irina’s face showed a spasm of worry when Dan asked if the anxiety attacks were getting worse. “No..I wouldn’t say worse, but they aren’t going away. I’m trying to find more natural remedies for her so that she doesn’t get hooked on Calming Draughts, and I know chocolate is big after dementor attacks. Maybe it’ll help?” she said, shrugging. She laughed as the puppy continued to chase them down the street. “Aw, he wants to come home with-” she started, but the words died on her lips as the puppy transformed. “Oh sh-” she uttered, dropping Dan’s hand as Niko, looking mad as all hell, stood there, glaring at the both of them.
“What are you doing-” she started but was cut off again as Nik made to chase Dan off. Fury bubbled up inside of her; she raced forward and cut Niko off before he could get very far. “Nikolai Cedric Krum. You.. are … in…. PUBLIC!” she hissed, matching his glare with her own. She made to reach for his wrist, but stopped short. Niko did not like to be touched; she didn't need to make things worse. A thousand and one thoughts crossed through her mind; what could she say to him? It wasn’t as though she could brush it off as nothing, he’d clearly seen them kissing and..oh Merlin, he’d heard her declare he was a good kisser. There would be no denying that something had been going on between the two of them, but she could do her best to quell the fire by throwing a secret back at him. “And when were you going to tell me you were an Animagus?” she demanded, hands on her hips and shooting him a withering look.

DAn could slowly feel the puppies emotions begin to rise and he started to panic for a moment when he realized it was actually a person. When he saw who it was, his eyes were wide. This was basically the worst thing that could happen right now but... Dan actually had to resist a laugh. This was literally just his luck. He bit down hard on his lip as Niko appeared before them, and only took one step back when eh started being chased. Irina cut him off by standing in front of Dan and he frowned at that. "Ri," he said softly, stepping forward to cross around her, "let him come." He turned to Nik, "I'll explain when you're ready to listen. Do what you to have to," he stood there, beside Irina and outstretched his arms.

Nikolai watched as Irina stepped in front of him to make sure he didn't touch Dan. Her words rushed through his body, and he became incredibly angry with her. Why was she doing this? Niko's rage showed on his face and in his eyes. He didn't want anything to do with Irina, he was angry enough that she hadn't told him about Dan and that she was the one acting as if he was in the wrong. His eyes lowered. "Back off, Irina. I'm not happy with you either, nor do I care that we are in public." She expected him to just tell her every god damned thing about him and he was getting sick of it. Her hands on her hips he laughed out loud at her. "Really, Irina? I don't have to tell you anything, so stop expecting me to!"
And as soon as he was done speaking, Dan came over and stepped in between them. Niko felt hurt, he felt angry, he felt betrayed. His best friend was kissing his sister and neither of them had told him. Dan, of all people, had not told him what was going on. And as he stood there, arms open, probably expecting a punch or a spell thrown at him, Nikolai just shook his head, disgusted. "Don't talk to me ever again." After everything Nikolai had just shared with him, and then he goes off and does this? That wasn't the person he wanted in his life.

Irina was fuming; so what if she had kissed his best friend, it wasn’t as though they had eloped or he had knocked her up or something. It was innocent and fun; besides hadn’t Niko said in his letters that he’d like to see her be with someone he’d approve of? Well wasn’t Dan someone he approved of? “I’m your sister, you should tell me these sort of things,” she snipped back. She looked over at Dan, standing there with arms spread out, waiting to take whatever Niko would throw at him. This wasn’t fair of Niko, but she supposed looking at it from an outsiders’ point of view, it would look a lot different.
Rina took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Listen, this whole...thing between Dan and I is very new and we haven’t even told anyone else about it yet. Rip and Tania don’t even know,” she began, feeling a stab of guilt. She should probably get her sisters in the loop soon, before Niko stormed over and had a chance to talk to them first. “We don’t know where this is going so we didn’t want to tell you anything before we were sure,” she told him, wringing her hands together and looking over worriedly at Dan. She didn’t want to say too much because she herself didn’t know what was going on with them. They had feelings for each other sure, but that hadn’t come up all too much in the past month, except for that one time in the Hospital Wing. “I mean...I like him, as more than just a friend. I’m sorry you found out this way but….well, I can't help the way I feel,” she said, shrugging her shoulders a little sadly. She didn’t like to see her brother angry, but she also knew he was being irrational. Hopefully just trying to be honest would calm him down.

Dan let the siblings feud it out their own way, that wasn't his business. He, for one, didn't care that Nik hadn't told them about his ability as an animagus. That didn't really make a difference to Dan. If anything, he only wished he had been told so that the cute puppy could have cheered him up every once in a while.... but that was a weird thought too. Then Niko addressed him, telling him never to speak to him again. Dan thought that was a little harsh but he kept his mouth closed as Irina chimed in. He nodded once or twice to what Irina was saying and, when she was done, he finally lowered his hands. The worry coming from Irina and the anger and betrayal coming from Nik was potent, but Dan somehow kept a level head. If this was a better time, he'd probably try to rejoice in that.
"Irinas right," he started, "we don't know what this is so we didn't want to worry anyone. I've never even done this before," this referring to having any sort of romantic relationship with a girl, "you know that. I have no idea what I'm doing. For all I know I'm making a complete fool of myself but listen-" he took a small step back, just to give more room, "I completely understand you being angry, even hating me, but please take the time to think about this. Think about who I am, who she is," he glanced at Irina briefly, "and who you are and think if there is anyone better for your sister," he didn't realize the words were coming out until he was already through them, "who loves your family more, Ced? Who, that isn't already in your family, cares about them more than I do?" he bit his lip then to stop from going further and he very, very purposefully avoided even glancing at Irina again.
NIk didn't haven't to make a decision now, of course. Scientifically it was near impossible to think logically when in a state of defensiveness, anger or surprise. So all Dan could do was lay that out there and hope for the best. Even if the best came later.

Nikolai gave his sister a disgusted look. "Irina, get off your high horse, would you? I don't care if you're my sister or not, you don't belong in my business, and if there is something I wish to tell you, I will! Now get over it!" His voice had grown louder, his breathing heavy. Niko couldn't stand that Irina thought that way. Just because they were related doesn't mean Niko has to tell her absolutely everything; God forbid, he actually doesn't have to tell her a single thing about his life and she better well respect that or he won't be telling her anything more from now on.
"Yeah? Really? You don't know where it's going? That's why you're out here in public snogging each other without a care in the world, off to some little date of yours, yeah?" Niko shook his head, laughing. Did they really think he was that stupid? Of course they knew where it was going. Just like Nikolai knew where it was going with Magdalena, but, apparently if they weren't off telling him about their relationship he wouldn't tell them about his.
As Dan spoke, Nikolai stared into his eyes, the hurt showing in his own. His best friend, of all people, finally has a girl he likes, and wouldn't even tell him about it. Granted, it was his sister. But he still didn't tell him. And Nikolai wasn't sure that was something he'd ever forgive. He licked is lips and looked around, before looking back at Daniel. "You're not stupid, Daniel. I know you're not. But you know what I do know?" Nikolai didn't look at his sister, not wanting to see her face as he spoke. "That you are going to have one hell of a time in this relationship, trying to control yourself, trying to make sure you don't hurt Ree when you have too many emotions running around in your body. And I'll let you know right now, you will hurt her. It's inevitable. You hurt her, and I'll hurt you." Niko was serious. He loved Daniel, he loved him through and through. But family came first. And with Dan's emotions and ability, Niko could already see Irina crying herself to sleep.

At Dan’s words, Irina looked over at him. A small bubble of happiness began to swell in her chest, he was defending himself by saying how he was the best choice for her. A small smile played on her face; it wasn’t coming at the right moment, but it was still nice to hear regardless. She looked back at Niko, who still looked hurt and disappointed and the bubble deflated again. It was clear he was in defensive mode; he probably wasn’t thinking about the fact that he was revealing Dan’s ability to her. Luckily, she already knew.
“But Niko, I already know about his empathy. He told me about it weeks ago. We’ve already been through a bad spell too - actually, it happened after you had seen each other,” she said, frowning slightly. She conveniently left out the fact that this meeting was at night and they’d been together in the Hospital Wing, but some things were far better left unsaid. “Niko, I love you and I get that you’re angry and trying to protect me. I know about what could happen with his ability, but that doesn’t change the way I feel about him. There are some things that I have to figure out on my own, like relationships and-” she stopped short. Nobody knew about her night visions, except Dan and a few others who shared in her ability. With his anger, she didn’t know if it was the right time to be revealing even more secrets.
Sighing, she turned to Dan. “We should go before Niko does something he’s going to regret,” she said, gently putting a hand on his arm and giving Niko a pointed stare. He needed time to process this; right now he was too angry to think rationally. As she started to walk away, she turned around to look back at her big brother. “Oh, and a piece of advice - stay away from clubs and a woman with long dark hair,” she said to him without thinking. Immediately, both hands flew to her mouth and she looked over at Dan, unsure of what to do.

Of course Nik was overreacting. Wouldn't Dan do the same thing if Nik was kissing his sister? Still, i was hard to watch and hard to feel. The strange laugh caused Dan to take another step back, not really sure where to go from this point...
Nik chose the direction by calling Dan out on his inability to have a relationship. Dan felt his hands start to clench and his jaw clenched together as the words he knew all too well came out of his best friends mouth. His hands shook, as Nik said he would hurt her. There was nothing Dan didn't agree with more. He felt himself calm a little, though, as Niko promised to hurt him in return. That seemed like a fair enough trade to Dan.
Then Irina spoke next, saying she already knew about the empathy, about their bad spell... then she spoke to Niko about how she loved him and... what? it didn't change the way she felt about him? Dan felt a happy skip in his chest at that and then immediately felt guilty for it. She cut herself off then, but Dan guessed what she would say next. Her visions.
He hated that he knew something Niko didn't but that was definitely not his secret to tell, just like Niks past wasn't his to tell either. Before he could speak, Irina turned to him and suggested they leave...
Buuuuut then she tossed in that but about staying away from clubs and Dan froze, eyes wide, shifting between the two siblings. He was just not going to say anything after that. Irina looked to him with wide eyes and hands over her mouth and Dan shook his head in a 'can't save you now' kind of way.
(hahhaha dan didnt' even talk hahaha)
