It'd been a good day so far, and it was going to be even better. Because it was Friday afternoon, the weekend about to start. And for once, Nikolai didn't have practice. So they had the entire weekend to do whatever they wanted.
Currently Nikolai was doing.... who knew what. He was in the study, the door opened just a crack, and Magdalena had just gotten out of the shower. She'd at least gotten on a matching black bra and underwear before leaving the bedroom, the towel still in her hands as she ran it through her hair to absorb as much water as possible. She pushed the door open to the study enough to stick her head in and look at him. "Are you going to come out of there yet?" She teased, before pulling her head out and heading down he stairs. She didn't know what he was working on, but she'd leave him be... for now. Just wanted to remind him that there was at least one other person in the house. Once down stairs she headed into the kitchen, opening the fridge to try and decide what to fix. She'd skipped lunch, so food was definitely in order.
Before she could decide though, the doorbell rang, and she raised an eyebrow. That thing actually worked? It'd never gone off once since she moved in, she'd actually started to think it was broken. He just never got visitors, which was almost unnerving to Magdalena. People had rung her doorbell all the time at her apartment, usually doorbell ditchers, or neighbors trying to get in the building when they accidentally got locked out. She set the towel down on one of the chairs, and pulled her damp hair over one shoulder as she headed to the door. Without any hesitation she opened it. Still clad in only her undergarments. She was pretty open about her body, as Nikolai knew well, and was completely shameless. So why would she hesitate? Well, if she'd known who was on the otherside, she might have, for once. It was Nikolai's sister, Irina, and that other boy from the Hospital. Immediately Magdalena froze, her eyes widening a bit. "Oh..." Was the first thing that managed to come out. "Um.... Nikolai? I think it's for you." She continued, raising her voice just enough that it should reach him in the study. She didn't look away from Irina and the boy, still trying to decide how to react to this rather awkward meeting.

Dan was thrilled to be invited to visit Niks place over the weekend. In just a few days the tournament champions would be announced, and Dan was happy to take his mind off of it. He and Irina were both invited, seeing as it would be too hard to have all four of the kids at Hogwarts over all at once. Plus, Nik said that he needed to talk to Dan about something. You could imagine how stressed Dan was about this, but it was perfect timing. Dan could finally tell Nik face to face that he and Irina were 'officially together'. Whatever that meant. And Nik could tell Dan whatever he wanted to talk about- oh. That's what he wanted to talk about.
Standing before Dan in Nikos doorway was the girl from the hospital in her undergarments, looking just as shocked as Dan felt. Dan's eyes widened until she called back to Nikolai, then he cleared his throat. "I'm Dan," he said, raising his hand in an awkward wave, his other hand clasping Irinas hand at his side.

Nikolai had invited Daniel and his sister over to his house to stay the night and to cook them dinner. He had showered that morning and was now in the office tidying up a few things before they showed up. The guest rooms were all set for them...he was still contemplating whether or not he'd let them sleep in the same bed. However, with the news he was going to share with Dan, if he didn't let them he'd just look like a hypocrite. But the biggest rule was that they couldn't do anything... intimate under his roof. Then they'd just get into another fight.
Niko hadn't seen Magi in a bit, so he wasn't sure where she was or what she was doing. He was just trying to clean up, even though it wasn't really messy. Niko planned on making something for dinner... but it was a sur-the doorbell rang. His eyes widened. Uh oh. It just occurred to him how Magdalena dresses around the house. There is no way in hell he wanted Daniel to see her that way. Jealousy and nervousness ran through him and he opened the door to the office, running to the top of the stairs. "Magdalena wait! I'll get it!" You could hear his feet running down the stairs, his hair flying every which way. Niko finally got down stairs, and all he could see was her standing there, door open, in her underwear and bra. Nikolai narrowed her eyes at her.
He walked forward, glaring, and as soon as he looked out the door to see Irina and Dan, he forced a smile. "Hold on a moment, please, you two." Nikolai bent over, grabbed underneath Magdalena's legs, and picked her up, quickly moving back towards the stairs. He placed her on the bottom step, voice low and intimidating, "What the hell is wrong with you? Go get some clothes on, Magdalena." And with that, he walked away from her and back to the door, an apologetic look on his face. "Sorry about her...come in."

Well, tonight was bound to be interesting. Nikolai had invited Dan and Irina both to dinner and to spend the night with him - he’d convinced one of the staff members he had been friends with in school to let them come since he was still ‘in recovery’ from his stabbing. Irina should have welcomed the distraction; the Triwizard Tournament selection was just a week away, and her nerves were shot. Still, she was a little wary of the invitation, wondering why on earth Niko wanted to see her AND Dan together. She wondered if he’d set them up in the two guest rooms on the opposite side of the house - not that Irina would listen. She and Dan had not gotten...there, yet in their relationship; both had agreed that slow and steady was better for them if they wanted to last long term. Still, she had never had a better night sleep than the night she had spent with him just sleeping, and when was she going to get that opportunity again? They couldn’t just fake sick to spend the night in the Hospital Wing together or anything.
The wariness of that night faded away with abrupt shock; Rina’s mouth literally dropped open as the girl from the hospital, Magdalena, she recognized her now, answered the door in nothing but her undergarments. Merlin, Dan hadn’t even seen her in that state of undress yet. She said nothing as Dan awkwardly introduced himself, but squeezed his hand tightly as he took hers. Suddenly, Nikolai was there and scooped up Magi, bringing her back inside. Closing her mouth, Irina turned to Dan. “Why don’t you ever pick me up like that?” she found herself asking, unable to stop herself from smiling. Her shoulders began to shake, and just like that she was laughing out loud. Whatever she found funny she wasn’t sure, maybe it was just the ridiculousness of the entire scenario that had just played out in front of them, or maybe it was a manic way to release her tension. She tried to muffle the giggling putting her other hand over her mouth as Niko came back, all apologetic. “It’s fine Niko,” she finally got out, still smiling. She looked up at Dan briefly, before stepping over the threshold. At one point in time, maybe she would have dropped his hand by now, but they had been an official couple for over a week now. There was no point in hiding anything anymore, evidently.

Magdalena heard Nikolai's yell too late. The door was already wide open, and suddenly she felt like she'd missed something. Irina, for sure, was still a student. How was she here? The guy, she didn't know. He looked like he could easily be Irina's age... or theirs. She held out her own hand in an equally awkward wave. "Magdalena." What else could say? Irina, thankfully, hadn't managed to say anything. But her mouth was hanging open. They both seemed equally shocked to see Magdalena. What in the world was going on?
Nikolai appeared and she could practically feel his anger. She'd definitely made the wrong move... But he was the one that hadn't told her guests were coming over! It was his fault! She shot him a look at he appeared next to her, trying to smile and asking them to hold on a moment. She opened her mouth to say something, but she shut it when he scooped her up and carried her to the stairs. She glared back at him. "What the hell is going on?" She hissed back, throwing half of his words back at him. She let out a huff as he turned away and back to the door. Oh, she was extremely tempted not to get dressed now, just to spite him. But thankfully her better judgement kicked in and she hurried up the stairs and headed into the master bedroom to get dressed.

Dan smiled and nodded as the girl said her name but then Nik was suddenly there, his emotions of jealousy, nervousness and irritation were obvious, whisking the girl away and Irina was turning to him. He turned to her at the same moment, eyes wide, then she asked her question and started to laugh, and Dan joined right in until they were both laughing loudly together and Dan was squeezing her hand tightly. Then Nik reappeared and Dan forced himself to straighten up, but he kept chuckling, "no problem, man. Guess that's the big secret?" he said as Irina led him inside. He didn't even consider dropping her hand. Nik knew how they felt about each other, that was nothing new now. He just didn't know there was a title and whatnot now.
"Nice place," Dan whistled, "seems like you've been having a good time," he bit on his lip to keep from laughing again as he tightened his grip on Irinas hand even harder, probably enough that it was hurting her by now.

Nikolai completely ignored Magdalena's remark. He didn't care what she was questioning. All he cared about was that she had least had the decency to cover up. Yeah, it was her house now, but so what? Walking around like that was okay, but to answer the door that way? Not right. Not at all.
And as soon as he walked back to the door, both Dan and Irina were laughing. His apologetic look quickly turned into a glare and he shook his head at them, shutting the door behind the two of them. "You two are mental." Nikolai noticed them holding hands, and although he did not like it, he did not say anything. They had just seen his girlfriend half naked, he couldn't complain about hand holding. He shook his head at Dan, annoyed. "Part of the secret. Not all of it. Don't mind her, she's very...comfortable with herself." Niko didn't know how else to put it.
His eyes widened and he looked at Irina quickly before back to Dan. "Shut up, Dan. We didn't do anything. She just walks around like that." A small smirk made it's way onto Nikolai's face as well, wanting to laugh but keeping it in. He went and sat down swiftly on the couch, letting his right ankle hang over his left knee. "How was the ride here?"

Irina’s shoulders were still shaking at Dan’s quip; oh yes, Niko certainly was having a good time. Realizing what that meant, she made a face which coincided at Niko’s glare. “And with you,” she said pointedly as they followed him inside. Dan’s grip on her hand was getting a little painful; she turned to him with an eyebrow raised and gently squeezed his hand to let him know that, while she didn’t want him letting go, she’d probably need that hand to be working.
She let out a chortle when Niko claimed they weren’t doing anything. “Niko come on we’re all adults here,” she said, taking a seat on the couch and pulling Dan down with her. “The ride wasn’t bad; we took the Knight Bus which, as you know can be a little hairy, but it was pretty empty so we got here with minimal injuries,” she told him, then laughed again as she turned to Dan. “I couldn’t say the same for that poor old lady in the back the poor dear looked like she was going to be sick all over the floor,” she quipped. She almost leaned in to kiss him but stopped herself; they were in the presence of her elder brother, and no matter how natural it felt now, she didn’t need him instilling a six inches apart rule while they were there.
Jessie then bounded into the room and Irina felt the tension break as she squealed for joy. “And this must be Jessie!” she exclaimed happily, scooping up the puppy in her arms. “Oh my gosh you are just the cutest thing ever,” she cooed, laughing as she was covered in puppy kisses. “Careful Niko I might steal her,” she said, still smiling.

Magdalena, thanks to Nikolai's need for order in their closet, was able to find an outfit fairly quickly. He was so much neater then her in that regard. So, she was able to find a pair of shorts quickly, yanking them on and then throwing a pale blue blouse over her head.She brushed out her damp hair then, before braiding it in a single loose messy braid. It wasn't as 'put together' as she could be, but it worked. Because right now, she was more curious as to why Irina and this Dan fellow were here. She left the bedroom, and headed down the stairs just in time to catch a snippets of the conversation. Leaning against the railing, she tilted her head as she looked at them on the couches. "'I didn't hear you complaining about my attire until visitors showed up." She boldly stated, raising her eyebrows as if to challenge Nikolai to deny it.
She didn't finish walking down the stairs, just fixed Nikolai with a look that conveyed her annoyance. That he hadn't told her they were coming so she could be prepared. About his reaction, as if treating her like a child. She looked away though when she felt a paw on her leg. One of her cats. A wicked smile touched her lips as she softly spoke to the creature, to quietly for anyone to hear. Nikolai knew about her affinity, and that, generally, her two cats did whatever she asked. She looked back up after, at the three in the room, and forced that smile to turn innocent. The cat she'd spoken to, Ditzy by his coloring, silently sneaked down the stairs, crossed the living room and started to weave around Nikolai's foot that was still on the ground. He generally didn't like the cats being near him, so he might lash out. But with visitors being there... Well, maybe he'd restrain himself for once. But he'd know Magdalena had sent the cat to harass him.

Dan's smile was still in place as Nik called them mental. He gave a shrug at Niks comment about Magdalena being comfortable with herself, and Irina chimed in to point out that she was comfortable with Nik, too. When Irina squeezed his hand he realized how tightly he was holding on and his eyes widened. He loosened his grip, "sorry," he whispered. Then he brought Irinas hand towards his lips as if he was going to kiss her knuckles, but slowly lowered her hand back down before they got to his lips.
Then Nik claimed they didn't 'do anything' and Dan snickered again, catching that smirk on Niks face. Irina spoke against that first, stating that they were all adults there. Dan nodded, but completely ruined the moment by laughing again, "yup. Adulting adults." Then Irina spoke of the woman on the train and Dan nodded, pouting a little. He saw that look in her eye, felt that feeling coming from her and leaned forward, only to stop just as she did. He felt her disappointment match his and he stood a little straighter. None of that right now.
Then the puppy was coming into the room and suddenly his hand was being released so she could lift the puppy. He smiled, lifting a hand to scratch behind the puppies ears. He loved dogs, of course. Cats were okay, too, but not his favorite. When Magdalena soon followed, making that snide comment and leaning against the railing. Dan stifled another laugh, looking up at her. He could feel her annoyance seeping toward him and really, that just amused him. Clearly Nik was going to get in trouble for this later. Dan almost said 'I wouldn't be complaining if my girlfriend was walking around the house like that,' but he decided against it. Instead he shrugged, "I mean, I'm not sure why he would complain, since you're his lover and all," he muttered, wincing in preparation for a smack or an elbow to come from Irina at his joke.
"So, do you live here with Nik then, Magdalena?" he asked.

"Yes with me, Irina, that's obvious." He scrunched his nose up at his sister. Granted, she didn't know that him and Magdalena were dating, or that she now lived with him. However, not any girl around would feel comfortable that way. "Honestly, Irina, are you curious to know when the last time we did do that? Cause I could tell you if you'd like." He smirked at her, testing her. Nikolai wasn't sure what she'd say, but hey, he wasn't embarrassed.
It was as if it all happened at once, the dog came bouncing over all the way to Irina, and then the cats came as well as Magdalena. Her attitude made him glare at her, his eyes narrowed. "I didn't complain about your attire cause I hadn't seen what you were wearing, Magdalena. Or, not wearing if you'd rather put it." His tone was snippy, but he tried to stay somewhat civil. Nikolai was around family and his best friend. However, at Dan's comment, and the cat circling his ankle, his heartbeat raced. What the hell? These cats hated him, they never came around him and they never wou-
Nikolai stood up and walked away from the cat. "Magdalena I swear...if you've told these damn cats to bother me you've got a few things to worry about, sweetheart."

Irina maintained her composure as Niko baited her. "Oh Niko, do you really want to issue that sort of challenge?" she asked lightly, smirking at him. She could only imagine what her brother had been doing with Magdalena, and she really didn't want to know. She figured this statement would shut him up for now, as he definitely would not want to know what Dan and she had been up to the past two weeks. She watched, interested as a cat made its appearance, winding itself around Niko's leg. She knew her brother was none too fond of cats; his Animagus form proved that. "I like this girl," she said out loud with a chortle.
At Dan's comment, she turned to look at him, both eyebrows raised. Jessie jumped off her lap and scampered away, yapping at something in the other room. When Niko looked up and shouted over to Magi, Irina grabbed her moment. She leaned over and so that her brother didn't hear her, whispered into Dan's ear. "What would you do if I walked around dressed like that?" and nudged him lightly, before returning to her place as if nothing had happened. "Well, now that we're all here, I have something for you....well, both of you I guess," she declared, reaching into the bag she had brought and pulling out a bottle of fine elf made wine. She had bought it was a peace offering last minute before they had left from the Hogs Head, but it looked as though it was also to be a house warming present for Magdalena. "Brother dearest do you have glasses for this?" she asked as she pulled out her wand and popped the cork.

Magdalena pouted as Nikolai chastised her outfit choice, or, as he put it, lack of outfit choice. He was just embarrassed that they'd seen her. "You haven't complained before now." She corrected, that pout finally giving way to a grin. She wasn't actually that mad, annoyed by how he angry and frustrated he was about it though. He knew she wasn't shy about that kind of stuff. "To be fair, you also didn't tell me they were coming. So.... It's your fault they saw it." She added smugly.
Magdalena raised an eyebrow as Dan boldly called her Nikolai's lover. "You're straight forward, aren't you?" She retorted with a smile. Of course she wasn't going to deny it. But when he asked about their living arrangements she hesitated, her gaze leaving Dan and Irina and shooting to Nikolai. She knew he hadn't told his family yet about their... arrangement. Before she could come up with an answer though, Nikolai realized what she'd done with her cat. A wicked grin crossed her lips. "Maybe they like you finally? Or maybe, they're trying to tell you to be nice." She didn't technically admit to sicking her cat on him, but she also wasn't denying it. Of course she'd told the cat to bother him. But Irina and Dan wouldn't know that. They didn't know she had a Cat affinity, but Nikolai did. She raised an eyebrow at him, as if silently asking if he was going to rat her out to his sister and friend. The cat followed him as he stood up, refusing to be more then a foot away from Nikolai.
Magdalena stepped away from the railing and into the living room as Irina pulled out a bottle of wine, her head tilting to read the label. "That-" she started, looking at Nikolai out of the corner of her eyes for a split second before continuing. "Is a very good year." She finished, before turning on her heels and heading into the kitchen. Nikolai didn't have wine glasses, but she did, as they'd discovered when she'd unpacked. A few moments later she came back to the living room, four wine glasses in hand with music notes on them. "Will these work?" She didn't know why she asked, since she knew they would. She just figured... well, might as well be sort of polite, right?

Nik's sass toward Irina just caused Dan to continue smiling. He was a bit confused as to why he was so cheery right now, what with so many awkward emotions bumbling about. But, Irina was holding his hand and she was smiling too, so that was probably the source of it. Plus, he was just glad to be with his best friend, even if Nik was smirking and teasing Irina and then moving on to grumble at Magdalena. As strange as it was to see Nik in a relationship... that alone made Dan happier than almost anything else. He squeezed Irinas hand playfully now and then, as if they had secret inside jokes going on.
He was a bit horrified at Irina asking Nik if he wanted a challenge, and suddenly became very interested in the ceiling. Then, Mag commented that she wasn't informed of the visit and Dan looked at Nik with a shaking head. As Mag called him out on being straightforward, Dan smirked at her, giving a little bow. "I say what I see," he mused, smiling back at the brunette. She liked her too, especially if she had somehow sicked those cats on Nik. She was funny, cute and seemed to make Nik happy. What's not to like?
Suddenly Irina was leaning toward Dan and he leaned his ear to her, only to get a very interesting sentence whispered in his ear. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped and Irina nudged him, leaning away before he could comment. "Uh," he managed to get out before Irina brought out the wine.
Magdalena commented on the year and grabbed the glasses, but Dan was still awestruck, his eyes fixated straight ahead of him as he desperately tried not to picture what Irina had just forced him to picture. Granted... his mind had already gone there, but she wasn't helping! Finally, he broke, coughing a bit as he turned to Irina with narrowed eyes, "you're the devil," he whispered.

Nikolai's eyebrows rose at Irina. They had always done this as children, different challenges. And now, as adults, they were continuing. He smirked and let out a slight laugh. "Trust me, Irina Krum, I will take on any challenge of yours and I will beat it. Especially this one." He actually had absolutely no idea what she meant, but he'd be sure to figure it out once she elicited it...if she chose to.
"Well obviously I haven't complained until now, it hasn't happened until now! Maybe if you hadn't slept all morning and helped me clean up the house, you'd know they were coming." His voice snapped at her, eyes still narrowed. She was pushing him, and she knew it. That's why she was acting all joyful. Nikolai was not afraid of his sister and best friend, but he didn't want to look like a complete ass. However, this was their relationship. Arguing over petty things and bothering one another. "If these things don't leave me alone, they're leaving, Magdalena." She walked past him to go into the kitchen to get glasses for the wine Irina pulled out, and Nikolai was extremely tempted to just let it foot shoot out and trip Magi. But he didn't, out of respect.
Niko shook his head and walked back over to the couch, the toe of his shoe pushing the cat away. "Thank you, Irina. That was very sweet of you." He sat closer to Dan, not wanting Magdalena to sit next to him. He was quite angry with her at the moment. And when she came back with the glasses he just glared at the cat, and then back to his puppy. "Jessie. Chase." The pup immediately perked up, and began running after the cat that was circling him.
