Just A Harmless Visit (Elias)

[Deleted]

Today, Margaux found herself in the Hospital Wing. It was after the First Task, where Elias had been the appetizer of Flesh Eating Slugs.  She had felt like bugs were crawling up and down her skin; it was quite revolting to behold.  Maria of course had been beside herself, wanting to go into the maze to help her cousin but of course she could not do that.  Only Elias could save Elias.  But now he was here in the Hosptial Wing, recovering.  And Margaux decided he could do with a visit.  Of course he wouldn't be up for that just yet, but she could be nice.  Sometimes.  Elias had definitely sparked Margaux's intrigue; she had every intention of a repeat from the woods, but also wanted to get to know Maria's cousin a bit better.  It didn't hurt that he was also the Durmstrang champion, which just made him that much more attractive.


Margaux flung herself into the seat beside Elias' bed and put on a smile as he began to wake.  "Mon cher, you were so brave in zat maze," she purred, gently reaching out and twirling a lock of his hair around her finger

This hospital wing was wonderful. They were so much more gentler than the nurses and healers at Durmstrang. Granted, if something was going to be painful they'd either let him know or just shock him, but with the pain Elias had endured in that maze, he was sure he'd be able to survive the healing process. From what he had heard, Maria had a mental breakdown. Elias hadn't even been thinking of her as he entered the maze, which he does regret. It was a bit upsetting for him to realize that everyone could see him...see his pain, his being eaten. But he didn't want to think about it, he didn't want to remember that.

Now, as he was finally healing, he had just woken up from a long rest. His eyes opened, and he yawned, seeing...Margaux? Elias was certainly shocked it wasn't Maria. He felt her finger twist his hair and he smiled gently. "Ah, thank you very much, Margaux. It's appreciated." Elias sat up slightly, flinching at the pain. "How are you?"

Margaux gently fluffed up the pillows behind Elias as he flinched slightly at the pain of his injuries. “I am well, merci. More importantly though, ‘ow are you?” she asked him, biting her lower lip in a show of concern. In truth, she was concerned; she’d seen what happened and how Maria had had a breakdown, and she felt great affection for both the wolf and the flamecaster. She’d rather see them both happy and fit; they’d be more fun for her when they were that way.

She looked around the Hospital Wing; there was another person there, but the curtains were drawn. She shrugged to herself and looked back down at Elias. “Maria eez okay by ze way; she was given a Calming Draught after your attack bien sur, but she will be ‘appy once you ‘ave fully recovered. She says you will owe her a dance at ze Yule Ball,” she told him with a musical laugh.

Elias smiled at her fluffing his pillows. That was sweet of her, he hadn't expected that. As he lied back down, now sitting up more and glanced at Margaux, seeing the concern in her face. He shrugged, trying to play it all off. "Oh, I'm fine, honest. Just a little sore." He was actually exhausted, but he felt like all he's been doing is sleeping and that was boring. He didn't want to just sleep.

Margaux's comment about Maria made him laugh. She was crazy; a calming draught? The poor girl shouldn't have even watched the task. Elias clenched his ribs as he laughed, realizing he probably shouldn't do that too much. "I planned on dancing with her anyways, she's family." He smiled, he had completely forgotten about the ball. He had his dress robes already, but he hadn't asked anyone yet either. "Have you got a date, Margaux?"

Margaux gave Elias a sympathetic, pouty look.  "Mon cher, eef zere is.....anyzing I can do, you let me know," she said sweetly, gently tracing her fingers from his head all the way down.  She gave him a little wink and a giggle.   Obviously the boy would not be up for the fun they had in the forest, but there were other things a woman such as Margaux were incredibly skilled at that required nothing from Elias at all.

She blew a piece of hair in front of her face and sighed.  "Alas, no one 'as asked me yet.  Eet eez too bad, ze gown I 'ave picked out is quite beautiful," she told him with a small smirk playing at her lips.  "Eet comes down to 'ere," she started, gently shrugging her robes so that her shoulders were bare as she drew a line to the center of her chest.  "And of course, 'zere is ze back," she said, swiveling in her chair so that part of her bare back could be seen.  Shrugging her robes back over her shoulder, she sighed again.  "C'est dommage, per'aps I shall not even go," she said melodrmatically.

Margaux pouted, and Elias grinned at her. Looking like he was in pain or seeming as if he couldn't do anything himself was very disappointing to himself. He didn't like feeling that way, and even having someone see him that way was even worse. Her finger traced from his forehead down, and he tilted his head into her hand, shutting his eyes and smiling. "I will definitely let you know, beautiful."

Elias couldn't help but let his grin grow as she shrugged off her robes, showing him what her dress for the Yule Ball looked like. Margaux was an incredible tease, that as much Elias had figured out. But it wasn't like he minded. She actually...well, she was beautiful, and he enjoyed it. Even if he couldn't really move all that well. Her dramatic tone caused a chuckle to escape his lips, and Elias shook his head at her. "You can't not go, Margaux. You have to go!"

Margaux gave him a wink and drew her finger away. “I am planning on going to ze Yule Ball of course, but I am from ze palace of Beauxbatons, I cannot ‘ave just any date,” she said with a slightly dramatic flair. It was left unspoken that she knew Oscar was now dating Anna Weasley, the Hogwarts champion. She didn’t care really but found it quite hilarious that Oscar had been so against her going after Maria who he had made comments about being burned, and now he was dating a redhead. She hoped that the poor girl would be enough for her.


“What about you, brave champion. ‘Oo is the lucky one to be going with you to ze Ball?” she asked flirtatiously. She wasn’t actually sure if Elias had decided on who his date would be yet; she knew his cousin Maria was, unfortunately, going with that shaved head girl from Durmstrang, which was a pity. Several fifth years from Hogwarts had asked Margaux, but she had turned them down; she had to have some class, of course!

A small chuckle caused Elias to cough. She was incredibly dramatic. It was not only humorous for Elias but he also found it enjoyable. Maria was more of an angry dramatic girl, while Margaux was just dramatic in general. However it also seemed that at times she was kidding, like she knew that she was being over the top and Elias liked that about her. He liked that she could be herself but also be different and not care. "That is true, Margaux. Very, very true."

He rose his eyebrows and shrugged. "Ah...currently, no one, actually. I've got a lot on my mind." He smiled. The Yule Ball, although he had already gotten his dress robes, he had completely forgotten about. "This probably isn't the best way or time to do so..." Elias took a deep breath and grinned at Margaux, tilting his head a bit to the side, wishing he could stand without being in pain. "But, Margaux, Krasiva, would you be willing to accompany me to the ball?"

[Deleted]

Margaux raised a single eyebrow when Elias said he did not have a date yet. She was surprised by that, but a good surprised of course. “You do not ‘ave a date? C’est impossible!” she said, tossing her hair behind her back. She pretended to look shocked when Elias asked her to the ball, but of course she was not. Any date of hers to the ball would be sure to have a good time; she was an excellent dancer, great at pretending to listen to conversations (sometimes she actually did), and she always put out when requested. “Oh mon cher, of course!” she exclaimed. She stood up and gently pressed her lips to his forehead, then his nose, then finally on his lips. Part of her screamed for more but she could be patient; Elias would be healed for the Yule Ball and she could show him a few new tricks she’d learned that year. She sat back in her chair with a satisfied smile. “So, ‘ave zey given any indication on what to expect for ze Second Task?” she asked him curiously. Of course, Emile had been the victorious one, but he had been busy pretending to be NOT interested in the little redhead from Hogwarts. She doubted Emile would share any information about the Task with anyone though; not if he thought it would diminish his chances of winning.

Elias smiled at Margaux. Well, there it was. He now had a date to the Yule Ball. And to beat it, it was a gorgeous girl from Beauxbatons. Oh, his mother would be proud. It made him chuckle quietly, not wanting to hurt himself any longer. Some of the medicine they had begun treating him with ended up hurting him in other places, but Elias had just kept telling himself he'd get better soon. "Well it was, but now it really is impossible, as I've got you." He smiled, a small blush appearing on his cheeks. Elias never was too bold, and he was shocked he had even had the bravery to ask Margaux. She leaned forward quickly and began kissing him in a few places, and he grinned slyly. She then asked about the next task and he shook his head. "No, unfortunately they haven't said anything. But I'm glad. I've had quite the run already."

[Deleted]

Margaux nodded and sat back, playing with one of the curls that had fallen forward over her shoulder.  "You will 'ave a night to remember, I guarantee it," she said.  She didn't just mean what she'd let him do after of course; Margaux was a quarter-veela and had amazing dancing skills.  She learned to waltz at age six, tango at age thirteen; they'd be the stars of the dance floor.  Not to mention she'd be entering at the same time as the red haired girl, Amy, Annie?  And Oscar.  If he thought he could one up her, well, he had another thing coming. 

Margaux leaned forward, grinning devilishly.  "Mon cher, you 'ave made me vairy 'appy by asking me to ze Yule Ball.  I weesh to repay you," she declared.  She gently let her fingers rest on his chest and trailed them lower and lower.  She pulled out her wand and drew the curtains.  "Do you zink you are up to zis?" she whispered, her voice a low purr.

Elias grinned goofily. "I hope I will. I can see it being a fun night, especially with you, Margaux." After their first meeting, Elias could tell that Margaux was quite the fireball, and he liked that about her. She was outgoing and playful and incredibly gorgeous. The lust he had for her was unbelievable, and to dance with her would most likely, in Elias' opinion, be even better. "What color is your dress?" Elias had already bought his dress robes of course, but he truly hoped they matched.

His eyebrows went up, and Elias jaw dropped slightly, his lips becoming quite dry. Margaux's finger slowly traced his chest downward, and Elias struggled to keep his breathing steady. Staring into her eyes, he licked his lips and nodded his head slowly, eyes widening as she magically closed the curtains around him. "I-I think I am." He wondered if she expected him to attempt to move, but if not, Elias knew he was in for a treat. And a good one.

[Deleted]

Margaux gave him one of her sly smirks as he said he was up to what she had in mind. Luckily for Elias, what Margaux had in mind meant he had to move very little.  "Bon, just relax mon cher.  Let me make you feel all better," she said throatily, pressing her lips to his briefly before getting to work.

and fade to black...

When Margaux was finished, she took a sip of water from the glass by Elias' bed.  "My dress eez navy blue with leetle diamond strands draping across ze back," she explained to him, tossing a curl back behind her shoulder.  She stood up and smoothed out her skirt.  "Rest well mon cher, I need you back to your full strength for ze ball," she told him, smoothing back  his hair for a moment before sashaying out of the Hospital Wing.

Eyes wide, mouth open, Elias nodded his head slowly at Margaux's words, and then shut his eyes, allowing her to get to work.

Once she had finished, she sat up and drank his water as if nothing had really just happened. He coughed awkwardly, his cheeks turning a light pink color and smiled at her, concentrating on his breathing. Margaux began speaking, and he laughed as he realized it was about her dress. "Navy blue...diamonds. Perfect." His suit would fit that, that was for sure. And she would most likely look breath taking in whatever she wore. As Margaux touched up his hair and stood up, Elias grinned as he watched her leave the Hospital Wing. Well, after that, he sure needed a nap.
