@dominic Cara had heard a little birdy say that Dominic Dippet was back at Hogwarts, which was funny, because she hadn’t see him yet. It didn’t sit well with her that he wouldn’t come and find her first thing upon returning, if he really had in the first place. Dom knew better than to do that. He was one of the only people that didn’t have a problem with her telling them what to do, and for that, she paid particular attention to him. Cara wasn’t sure why that was, or if there needed to be a reason to begin with, but exerting some kind of control over another person did have a tendency to be fun. She used to be able to get away with doing it to her sisters as well, but they were starting to wise up. Dominic would never do that to her. Having him around only served to get rid of annoyances, not to mention that he was extremely proficient in numerous kinds of magic. Someone being loud in the library, off he’d go to silence them. Cara liked to sic him on people. He was loyal, and in return was given the attention that he so obviously needed. It was adorable, and it was exactly what she needed after her sisters, namely Kinsey, refused to do what she asked of them. While she didn’t know if Dominic was ever truly grateful of anything, at least he didn’t make a scene about her commands like Kinsey did, and instead just went through with what she asked of him. Not like it was a hard concept to understand. All she wanted was for others to function to the best of their ability, and following her every word was one of the ways to do that.
But Dominic hadn’t show his face to her yet, and Cara was ticked off about that. It had put her in a bad mood all day. She didn’t need him to run around and do her errands for her, all she wanted was to see if he was okay, having left school suddenly before Christmas. Apparently their relationship, whatever that was, didn’t mean much to him. Irritated by all this, she was heading from the common room up to the astronomy tower to chart planet motions for class. A dreadfully boring task, but it needed to be done. Tossing her bag onto the closest ledge, Cara grabbed her materials and went to the closest railing that gave her a decent view of the night sky. It was clear for once which meant she could accurately depict where everything was and then copy it down. There was still a slight chill in the air, and she didn’t want to be up here longer than was necessary.

Well, Dom had just gotten back, the day before this carnival thing was supposed to start. He had just made sure all of his stuff was set up in his dorm room, and he knew who the first person who should see him was. Cara. Cara. His 'muse', his 'queen', his 'boss'. Basically, Dom had created a ruse years ago that he was wrapped around Cara's finger, bending to her every whim. It started as a way to get to Kinsey, Cara's sister, but it turned into something much more than that. Cara was sick with pride, and he lived and died for the moment her eyes met his and she got that look on her face. It was just of the best reactions he got out of anyone, and he was excited to see what she would do now that he had been gone for five months. He kind of expected to get slapped, but he'd see. He went down to the Common Room and spotter her easily, but she was heading out. He snickered, then quietly followed her in silence all the way up to the tower. He waited a few moments to let her get settled before appearing in the doorway. He let an easy smile grace his face as he crossed over to her and, upon reaching her, slowly bent down to one knee. "What will you have me do, my queen, to make up for my absence?"cara june bainbridge

@dominic Cara heard the door to the Astronomy Tower open, and footsteps echo up the stairwell as the person headed towards her. As long as they were quiet and doing work or observing the stars, she didn’t care if anyone joined her. It was when the questions started flowing, or really anything that interrupted her work for that matter, that she would get angry. Unless the person was intellectually sound. That made all the difference for her. Continuing to ignore the new presence though acutely aware that they were walking towards her, Cara finished marking down a planetary movement before looking at the person, who was now kneeling next to her. Was this idiot trying to propose to her or something? If they were, they clearly had the wrong person. Her eyes adjusting to the new human shape in front of her and the addition of a voice made her understand what was going on. Dominic was finally here. He was doing that stupid thing where he called her his Queen again. She didn’t necessarily mind it because it meant she had the power here, but wasn’t he also ashamed of it? Cara knew that he did things on his own around the school, and yet he always came running back to her like a lost puppy. Whatever it was, she shouldn’t be complaining. Having someone around to do what she asked was always nice.
She continued to stare down at Dominic, trying to come up with something witty to say to him, but her brain just wasn’t having any of it. “Stand up,” she huffed, more exasperated at herself than at him. Despite still being angry at him, yelling at right now wouldn’t solve anything. Planet chart still in her hands, she turned back to continue working on it. “So where have you been?” Cara questioned, marking another planet movement down. This was way easier than she had anticipated. Monotonous work like this was silly, and honestly, a waste of her time. Dominic was here to make up for it. “Some people missed having you around you know.” Namely her. “Not me though,” she reeled back. “I just heard that from others in the common room.”

Okay, so, for a moment she was just staring at him not saying anything, but he held his position. He was a little concerned, that she really was pretty upset with him. That would ruin all of their fun. But then she finally spoke, telling him to stand up and then turning back to what looked like her homework. He did as she asked, and moved to stand beside her leaning on the stone. She asked where he had been, and went on to say that some people had missed him. He chuckled when she denied that she was one of those people, even though he was sure she was speaking of herself. Cara Bainbridge was not one to do so well if she didn't have people to praise her. Or at least, that was his understanding of her. She liked being in charge, liked having people to tell what to do, like him. So, of course, she missed him. He shrugges, turning around to lean back on the stone with his elbows instead of his forearms. "I had some family business to take care of," he said in a casual tone. "You understand family business, right? You have to deal with it much more than I do," he laughed, and it was a bit of a mocking sound. He knew that she and Kinsey didn't get along very well, and he also knew that Cara was one of the more... Aggressive members of her family. For lack of a better term. Of course, Cara did not know how close Dom and Diana were. Nobody knew that. He was content, and so was Diana, with Cara believing that he liked her best. cara june bainbridge

@dominic Marking down another point on her chart, she glanced over at Dominic as he finally stood up. Good. Even though he was gone for a few months, he still knew his place. Everyone else always made him out to be an alpha type, but from what she had seen of him over the last six years, he was anything but that. Just because he had his own convictions to take care of didn’t mean he was a leader. If anything, most of the so-called alpha types at Hogwarts were petty bullies commanded by less assuming characters. It was easier that way. She understood how they worked. Dominic wasn’t a bully though, as much as a strong willed boy. He did what he wanted until she wanted something. That was what made him a boy still. Once he learned how to think about things on his own and turned away from her, then she would see him as something else. The Ravenclaw had decided on that years earlier, after she figured out that he wasn’t following her around because he was desperately in love with her, but because he needed some sort of stability in his life. Lucky for him she was willing to provide that. Especially after Kinsey was ready to shed it.
“Is everything okay?” Cara found herself asking before thinking it over. Her pen had stopped moving and she was looking back up at him again. Was that too sincere? She cleared her throat. “I assume so, because you’re back.” She wasn’t sure if she liked that slip up or not. His well-being did matter to her, in a way, because he was the only one that truly ever listened to her. He was basically her personal punching bag to boss around. If he wasn’t there, then who would take his place? Certainly not Diana, and it was starting to look like Kinsey was immune to it. Then there was triplets, but they were harder to reach because of Hufflepuff. At that point she would be forced to give up.
Returning once again to her project, she stared up at the sky to get the last few points that she needed, before jotting them down. Dominic said something about her understanding family business, and she joined in on his laugh. “Don’t get me started,” she commented as she wrapped up her work. “Kinsey thinks she’s better off without me,” Cara shrugged before crossing in front of Dominic and sitting down on the ground next to where he was standing. “So I’m finally giving her what she wants. We’ll see how well she manages on her own.”

She asked if everything was okay, and for a scary moment he thought she was being genuine. But then she cleared her throat and said she assumed so, because he was back, and things felt normal again. He just nodded, not responding with words at that whole thing. Then, at the mention of 'family business' Cara went off, laughing with him. She mentioned Kinsey, and the words she said made him smirk. Well, that meant Kinsey was even more vulnerable, didn't it? That was... convenient. "She never deserved you in the first place, Cara," he said in a soothing voice. He bent his knees to join her sitting on the ground, since she had plopped herself down beside him. He reached a hand over and placed it on her knee, "and you don't deserve someone who doesn't appreciate you the way I do," he added. Yes, it could have sounded genuine, sure, but this was just the way he played it with Cara. This was how things worked. He pulled his hand back, only having had it there for a second. "And as for the rest of your family, I'm sure Diana is fairing well?" he knew Diana incredibly well, of course, but Cara didn't have to know that. cara june bainbridge

@dominic The way Dominic described Kinsey to her was…interesting. She had never thought about her sister listening to her as deserving; more that Cara was guiding her in a manner that would lead her to success. It had a proven track record after all. Shouldn’t she be a shining example to her younger sisters? That was all she was trying to do, and Kinsey didn’t seem to catch on at all. But not deserving her? Cara wasn’t sure if there was anything about Kinsey that she particularly liked. They didn’t get along, but that was also because of their clash in personalities and thoughts on education. That fact alone stifled anything else that was between them. The Ravenclaw was positive that part wasn’t her fault though. Kinsey was the one to pull away and try to go on her own. Cara had always thought she would come back though, once she realized she couldn’t do it. Apparently she had a bit of Gryffindor stubbornness in her somewhere, because it hadn’t happened yet. Cara had her thoughts on the matter broken when Dominic put his hand on her knee and said that she needed someone that appreciated her, like he did. That put a smile on her face. He was always dependable. Unlike some people she knew. “You’re right,” she stated, letting her head fall onto his shoulder. “I don’t know why I let her bother me this much. I always know what the outcome is going to be.” There had never been any deviation from that. While her conversations with Kinsey started differently, they always ended the same way. That was just how it went.
The topic then changed to Diana. She had to think about that one for a while. That was an even stranger question than the point about Kinsey. Diana was always fine. She had her quirks, but that was just how she was. “She hasn’t said otherwise,” Cara yawned. “Same as usual. Has her opinions on our professors and their ability to choke out her academic interests. I don’t blame her for getting upset at them. Really should allow us to have independent studies outside of the core curriculum. Gives us a little freedom here and there.” Personally, Cara wanted more free time to write and come up with new ideas for stories. Even one less class would give her an extra few hours in the day to do just that. “You’re not interested in her, are you?” she joked, not really thinking much of it. There had never been much interest in her twin from Dominic as far as she could tell. Usually he just listened to her ramble on about whatever was bugging her. He was a fairly decent sounding board.

Dominic gave her knee a little squeeze as she rested her head on his shoulder. Even though he always did this just to mess with Cara for the fun of it that didn't mean it wasn't nice to have a girl this close to him. Any kind of attention was good in Doms eyes, and being Caras loyal slave slash sounding board was a fine deal. "It's because you don't want to give up. That's an admirable trait," he pointed out. "But sadly some people just aren't going to change," he added. At least, he hoped Kinsey wouldn't change. She had been surprisingly brave facing him the other day at the fair... And that was frustrating. Maybe Cara had gotten to her somehow. That would be ubfortinaye. His two favorite Bainbridges to mess with actually learning from each other. That did not sound like it would end well for him. He chuckled under his breath as she spoke of Diana. Good old Diana, never backing down if she didn't agree on something. Cara agreed that they should have more independent study time and Dominic nodded. Before he could comment on that particular topic, though, she was asking if he was interested in her twin. She must have been messing with him. He chuckled aloud and shook his head, "only one Bainbridge for me, thanks," oh, Diana would crack up if he told her about saying that. "I mean, Dustin is pretty cool, too," he joked, smirking. "As for having our own curriculim, I think that would work well. It's a shame you both didn't get it approved before your last year," he said. "I guess I could try next year in your honor?" he teased. cara june bainbridge

@dominic Dominic always knew what to say, it seemed like. If their roles had ever been reversed, she would have been in trouble. In a way, it was kind of interesting that he didn’t have hordes of girls running after him. Sure, he could be a brute and rather harsh at times, but they didn’t know this side of him. All he needed was someone to talk to him and tell him he was a good boy. Basically a dog, but better because he listened all the time. Having him tell her that not giving up was admirable put on a smile back on her face. Giving up was never an option. That meant betraying values and standards. Letting those run wild was essentially like not caring. Maybe she cared too much about certain things at times, but at least she stuck to her guns and continued to follow what had always worked. Kinsey acting out wouldn’t change that. “You’re right,” she sighed. “If I let her do what she wants, that isn’t giving up on my end, is it?” Cara thought that was a valid point to bring up. Was letting Kinsey do what she wanted betraying her own values, or simply coming to the conclusion that it wasn’t worth the effort to keep going forward with it?
The chuckle from Dominic in regards to him being interested in her twin was enough of a response for Cara to know that he wasn’t. “Because you’d have my permission you know. As long as you treat her the same way you treat me,” she smiled up at him, still obviously joking. “Yeah, Dustin is kind of cool I guess. You didn’t hear that from me though. He’ll let it get to his head.” The conversation switched back to the curriculum, and Cara found herself nodding. If only they had gotten their own curriculum passed. That would have been amazing. She wouldn’t have been stuck doing stupid astronomy charts every other night if that had happened. “I say go for it. Can’t hurt to try an independent study.”

Cara said he was right and he sighed as well with satisfaction. It was always nice to hear that from anyone, but it was especially nice to hear it from someone he was trying to convince he looked up to. If Cara could let go of her pride enough to say those two words, that meant he was really getting in there. That amused him. She asked if it was giving up if she let her do what she wanted, Kinsey, and he shook his head. "No, no. Sometimes you have to let people make their own choices in order to guide them later, if the occasion calls for it," he explained. "This is the best thing for now, just focus on that," he said. Cara said that he'd have her permission to have a thing for Diana, only if he treated her the same way he treated Cara. Dominic chuckled again, looking down at her smiling face and shaking his head, "I'm afraid that would be too complicated for my little heart to handle," he joked. Cara made the comment about Dustin being cool but not to let him know and Dominic chuckled again, "I'll be sure to not tell him," even though he and Dutsin never spoke and Dominic was not planning to start anytime soon. Cara said he could go for it, to try for the independent study. He was mostly kidding but he actually considered it for a moment... "maybe I will... what would you have done with your time?" he asked, as if he couldn't function without her advice. He really was curious, though. cara june bainbridge

@dominic She scrunched her eyebrows together as she listened to Dominic extract her question and explain everything to her. That made sense. He always ended up helping her more than she realized. This time was more overt than most though. Leaving Kinsey to her own devices and ignoring her unless she could obviously have influence was easy. That was basically what she was currently trying to do. There was no giving up in that. If anything, it would reduce the arguing and bickering. Having that kind of stress removed completely would be a load off of these last few months too. She didn’t need someone who could care less about dedication to school work bothering her during such a formidable testing period, even if the NEWTs didn’t really matter for her own career path. The thought mattered though. “Easy enough,” Cara responded.
“There’s nothing complicated about it at all!” Cara laughed, tapping him lightly in the chest with her hand. “I think the two of you are more alike than you realize. Except you scare the younger students more often than she does.” She didn’t see anything wrong with that pairing at all. Diana was much quieter and not as critical (unless pushed), but Dominic also had a way of tapping into all of that. If anything, their current conversation was a great example of it. “And good. Unless I lose the lead of favorite. Then you have to tell him. It’ll count for more points coming from someone other than me.” Letting Kinsey or one of the triplets get ahead of her wasn’t allowed. Being the second oldest had its perks, and the first was being Dustin’s favorite. They couldn’t take that from her.
As for independent studies, that was an easy question to answer. “Spent more time not doing all of this,” Cara pointed at the work she had just finished. “It has a purpose, I know that, but I highly doubt I’ll ever need to chart the stars again if I’m going to spend my time writing.” She didn’t want to say school had become useless, because that meant Kinsey would win their constant battle of the importance of studying. Just because it wasn’t really applicable to her own life anymore, didn’t mean that it wasn’t important for her sisters to crack down and do their best. It varied from person to person. “What about you?”

Cara said it was easy enough, and Dominic let the subject drop. As she laughed about him saying that loving Diana wouldn't be complicated at all, he smiled too even though he felt a sort of tug in his chest that was a bit painful. She said the two of them were alike, and he knew that. He knew better than anyone else in the world. Save Diana, probably. She said that he scared the younger students more than Diana did and he chuckled, shaking his head. "Well, I suppose that's true," and he was fine with that, of course. It was what he always did. He laughed when she said that he would have to tell Dominic she said he was cool if she lost the 'lead of the favorite'. He shrugged, "I'm sure it would count for more coming from someone else, but he doesn't even know me. He'd probably think I was one of his rabid fans," Dustin Bainbridge had those, right? Dominic saw his names in the papers all the time. He followed Quidditch, of course. He loved the sport. As for as independent studies were concerned, she gave a good answer. That she would spend her time not doing the things she didn't think would serve her in the future. "I always thought apprenticeships made more sense than an overarching education for that reason," he commented. She asked what he would do and he looked up at the stars, contemplating in silence for a moment before speaking. "I think I would try to learn more about magic they don't teach us," he said honestly, "the dangerous stuff."cara june bainbridge

@dominic Cara didn’t want to say that Dominic put the younglings in their place, but he kind of did. He was atypical for Ravenclaw; they would try to look up to him as a mentor, and from what she had seen, that wasn’t what they got. Then again, she was probably the same way, waving them off when they came asking questions. There were plenty of other students, and professors for that matter, that could answer their stupid thoughts and questions. She didn’t have the time for that kind of thing anymore. Real life was coming up fast and there wasn’t a game plan made for the Ravenclaw yet. There were so many places she could go, so many jobs she could do, but all her brain was telling her to do was write. It was hard to fight against it now.
“Don’t get me started on his fans,” she rolled her eyes. “Rabid is one way to put them. I snagged a few letters they had sent him last summer. Some of them made me look at classmates differently.” How Dustin managed to gauge all the letters and respond to them was beyond her. Cara figured that there was a possibility she would be in the same boat one day, answering fan letters and doing signing. That was a long-shot though, because there was more chance for failure than success in writing. She would probably just tell off the people that sent gross letters. “You can still try telling him though,” Cara pointed out, getting back to the matter at hand. “I’m pretty sure he thinks I don’t have any friends.”
Apprenticeships were a good idea. In that regard, the next few years could be spent doing all that though. It wasn’t like they had any higher-education to go to, so apprenticeships and internships immediately after graduation was where most would go. “Can’t win at it all I suppose,” she sighed. Looking up at Dominic as he explained that he had wanted to learn the dangerous stuff, Cara didn’t immediately respond. He was so much like Diana that it was scary. Even more reason for what she had said earlier. “What the professors don’t know doesn’t hurt them,” she finally answered after a few seconds of silence. “Just don’t do anything stupid with it, okay?”

Cara told him not to get started on the fans and he laughed, his head leaning back for a few moments. His arm instinctively tightened around her shoulders. "That's terrifying," he guessed, still chuckling a little and shaking his head. "I'm not sure I could deal with fame," he shook his head as she said that he should still talk to Dustin and how her brother didn't think she had any friends. He frowned, "there's no way that's true," in all reality, he didn't know. He didn't know much about what she did with her time outside of their time together, and heaven knew he wasn't a real friend. A part of him was, but he was having too much fun messing with her to access it. That was kind of sad, if he thought about it. She said that you couldn't win it all, which was true. he knew that. She also said what the Professors didn't know wouldn't hurt them, after a moment of silence. He wondered what she was thinking during that silence. Was she thinking about Diana? Was she thinking that he was scary? She said not to do anything stupid, and he shrugged, "I suppose I can promise that," he couldn't. Not even a little. He looked down at her, "what am I going to do without you next year?" he mused. He actually would miss this. It was too late to have this kind of relationship with anyone else. cara june bainbridge(you can end it or I can next?)

@dominic She struggled figuring out the correct way to respond to Dominic when it came to how many friends she actually had. Very few, if any. Even she knew that. Dominic only counted because he was always around when she needed him. Spending time with him wasn’t all that bad either, and he knew how to play up her ego, so there were no complaints there. Omitting siblings, there weren’t too many people left that she hadn’t scared off over the years. Most just liked having her around because she had a strong work ethic. Merlin knew she had to have that, because without it she would be no better than a Gryffindor. Which was worse than being stupid, in her opinion. Dustin was the obvious exception. “Well, that’s why you have to tell him you’re my friend,” she finally said, patting his leg. “And make it sound convincing too. You have to really sell the best friends bit. Just don’t give off the vibe that you’re hopelessly enamored by me. He won’t believe that for a second.”
He could only ‘suppose’ that he wouldn’t do anything dangerous? Cara shook her head, trying to hide the smile that had formed. She knew he would do it regardless. That was how he was. “Write every day, beg me to visit during Hogsmeade weekends, you know, those kinds of things,” she joked. “I won’t really have anything preventing me from doing that, so I can. If you want.” Unless she had a novel or deadlines by that point in time. Trying to be hopeful when she hadn’t even developed an idea yet seemed ridiculous, but it was the only thing moving her forward at this point in time. School was almost done with, and then that part of her life would be gone forever. Sitting in silence for a little longer, Cara eventually let out a big yawn. The kind that dictated going to sleep. Letting out an equally large sigh, she moved from her spot next to Dominic and scooped up her homework. “That’s enough for me tonight. We can continue this little heart to heart some other time.” They still had a month left anyways. “Ready to go back?”
