Just Hold Me Tight (Darina)

[Deleted]

As Irina started to describe the creatures, Dan could feel the tension releasing from her. When she stopped, he closed his eyes too, and the two of them stood there in silence for a little while longer, slightly swaying. Eventually, Dan turned toward her and placed a long kiss on her neck, giving her one more tight squeeze before gently pulling back, "okay. Now, we really should get going," he suggested, but his feet didn't move. He felt... incomplete, in a strange way. Like he wanted to explain how he was feeling but... he couldn't do that right now. Not yet.

Irina kept her eyes closed as he gently kissed her on the neck, only opening them begrudgingly as he pulled away.  She gave him a soft smile as he mentioned they should be heading back.  "You're right of course.  I'm sure Anna's celebrations are already under way in the Common Room; she's one of my best friends, so I probably should be there with her," she agreed, then chuckled.  "Plus, I'm sure very similar celebrations are occurring on the Durmstrang ship now for Elias.  Though hopefully nobody is too disappointed," she said, squeezing his hand gently.  She turned to leave, but stopped when Dan did not move.  She looked at him curiously.  "Are you alright?" she asked him, stepping back towards him.  She took his other hand with hers and looked straight into his eyes.  "Are you disappointed you didn't get picked?  I didn't even ask you that, I'm sorry," she said, kissing his cheek gently.

Daniel nodded, but frowned, as she agreed that she should get back to the party. "Awe, yes, I'm sure Elias is having the time of his life," he joked with a smile, "nah, I'm sure the majority of us are just happy to be here... though, not everyone has a beautiful girlfriend with them," he suggested with a quirky little eyebrow raise and leaning in for another kiss before she turned away from him. But, she was soon back asking if he was okay or if he was disappointed. He shook his head and leaned into her kiss on his cheek. "No, I'm not disappointed. If anything I'm relieved. Now come on, stop stalling, you devil," he kissed her one more time, a rather aggressive one, before taking her hand and leading her back.

Irina kissed him back just as forcefully, then let him lead her out of the Astronomy Tower. "Well, I am glad you view me as a better prize then," she teased; in truth that was really how she felt about him. They parted ways near the Fat Lady, and Irina realized it was two minutes past curfew. She thought she saw an Auror rounding the corner, so she quickly gave the password and scurried through the portraithole to find her friend, the champion.
