Irina knew he was trying, and that helped a little. She rubbed his shoulder gently, leaning back on the couch as he leaned into her. She let her other hand fall and rest on his arm and stayed silent for a few minutes, listening to him try and regain some composure. She raised a brow when he told her she shouldn't try and fix it though. "If you think for a minute that I'm not going to try and help you feel better, then you really dont know me at all do you?" she said with a wry chuckle. She fell silent again, thoughts buzzing through her brain. "You've been an apathetic ahole you're entire life, don't even try to argue with me you know it's true," she started after a few moment. "Then you realized I am a beautiful snowflake that you love dearly and all those emotions you suppress are flowing free like a waterfall now. You're opening yourself up to something I'm pretty sure you never thought you'd ever have, and it's scary and confusing, but also pretty amazing, at least in my opinion." She stopped talking and raised his chin up with her hand so he was looking at her. "Did I miss anything?" she asked.

Dan shook his head as she protested his comment about not trying to fix everything. Then, after some silent, she went on about how he used to be and he wasn't going to argue. Her next comments, though, and the beautiful snowflake and such actually made him smile. Then it got more serious, mentioning how he was opening himself up to something that he never thought he'd have, and how it was scary and confusing and amazing. Then she tilted his chin up and he followed the gesture, looking up at her. She asked if she missed anything and he shook his head, "well... no. Not really. But," he wrinkled his nose at her, his smile fading away again, "you're the one who is a beautiful snowflake, who should be handed all the beautiful things in this world on a silver platter by the man of your dreams and you decided to choose me. An uncaring, passive drama queen who can't keep two thoughts straight in his head. Who loves you and wants to love you," he pulled back a little so that he could place a hand on her waist and look into her eyes straight on, "who wants to give you all that and more. The world, even. But I can't pour from an empty cup, Irina. And that's what I am. Empty."

Irina saw the faintest flicker of a smile cross Dan's lips and it made her smile too. At least he was still capable of that. Her smile faded though as he spoke; he went on about how she was this beautiful perfect angel and how he was an empty cup who wanted to give her the world. Didn't he know he had already given her that?
"I love that you think I'm perfect, darling, but I'm not. I fight terribly with my brother, as you well know. I get so competitve in Quidditch that I actually frightened myself out of playing for the House team because I didn't think I could control myself out there. I fell in love with my big brothers' best friend and hid it from him for almost a month," she went on, nudging him gently to let him know she was teasing on the last bit. "You are not uncaring, and you are not impassive, and you're certainly not an empty cup. You just feel things a heck of a lot more than other people do and you're used to shutting it out." She moved her hand so it laced with the other around his neck. "I hate to break it to you Dan, but I knew what I was in for from the moment you told me about your empathy, and I still love you with all that I have anyway. You're not losing me any time soon," she told him, absolutely serious.

Irina started listing reasons why she wasn't perfect. and at the nudge she gave him he let that small smack come back for a second. She was right, of course. He was used to shutting emotions out and he had just let so many in lately that it was breaking him to small pieces, too small to make up a whole person anymore. Her tone became even more serious as she said that she knew what she was in for, that she loved him and that he wasn't going to lose her. He bit his lips, his eyes getting misty again. He was quite the crybaby tonight, wasn't he? He lifted his other hand and placed it on her cheek, shaking his head slightly. "I don't think either of us truly know what we're in for," he admitted, leaning toward her, "but I do know that we'll figure this out. I just need to you accept that I'm not going to be okay in one night, and that I have to work this out on my own a little bit, as well as with other peoples help. Can you do that?" his voice was soft, his tone gentle.

Irina chuckled softly as his hand touched her cheek. "Yeah, the empath and the Seer. It'd make a good book series," she said, half jokingly. She swallowed hard at his next words; the rational, mature part of her understood everything he was saying, but that small rather selfish bit of her was protesting. She wanted to be there with him at every step until he felt like himself again, but she knew that it had been too long since he'd let someone else into his life like he did with her that he couldn't fully understand it yet. "My Head of House is the school counselor, I'm sure she'd make time for you if you want," she offered with a small smile. She sighed and sat back on the couch. "Just...promise me you won't ice me out completely, okay? I'm not ready to lose you; I don't think I'll ever be," she said, tilting her head towards him. "And you'll still be my date for the Yule Ball?" she added with a small smile.

She joked about their abilities and he suddenly felt an insane guilt coarse through him. he wasn't even thinking about her abilities and how much she was going through right now either. he groaned, leaning back so he was against the arm of the couch. He lifted his hands to cover his face as she talked about the school counselor. Then she wanted him to promise that he wouldn't shut er out completely, that she wasn't ready to lose him, and he felt that sharp pain in his chest again. So much that he used one hand to press against the spot over his heart. He looked back to her, but kept himself leaned back against the couch. "Of course I'll still be your date," he said simply. That was all he had for now, though, for he felt the tears threatening to come back.
He looked up at the ceiling, one hand on his chest and the other across his forehead, as if checking if he had a fever. Maybe he did have one. An emotional one.

Irina saw his facial expression changed and gave a sad sort of chuckle. “Oh, honey I didn’t mean that to be a bad thing!” she said, reaching out and squeezing his knee. She smiled as he promised to still be his date, and knew that he was also promising to try not to freeze her out completely. She doubted he would run the opposite way down the hall or anything like that, but she also had the realization that they wouldn’t be attached at the hip for a little while at least. She supposed it was a good thing; each and every one of her friends had teased her for the amount of time they spent together, thought it was always in good nature. She could spend time with her sisters; her and Ripley had a standing date for their snowball fight coming up, and she’d been meaning to spend more time with Tania. Then there was Nikolai. Part of her wanted to ensure Dan reached out to him but she had a feeling he would without her push. She knew Dan would need his best friend, but she also just wanted a hug from her big brother who would finally hug her back.
She frowned as Dan sat back on the couch, hand over his heart and the other over his forehead. “Are you feverish?” she asked, reaching over and pressing her fingertips to his head. Slightly warm. Irina got up and conjured a bowl and a small cloth. Another wave of her wand and cold water streamed out of the tip into the bowl. She soaked the cloth thoroughly before wringing it out and bringing it back over. “Here,” she said quietly, moving his hand so she could place the cloth over his forehead and eyes, for good measure.

It didn’t matter if she meant it as a bad thing or not, he still would have felt bad. It didn’t make a difference to how he was feeling right now. Still, it was nice of her to say. She asked if he was feeling feverish and he shook his head, shuddering a tiny bit at her touch. He moved his hand to catch her fingers- but before he could she was standing up and bringing him a cold towel. He gently moved his hand out of the way as she moved it in order for her to place it on his forehead and eyes, but that gave him the chance to grab her hand like he wanted to a moment ago.
He used his free hand to move the towel up so that his eyes weren’t covered. ”That’s not fair,” he said, pulling on her hand, ”I like to be able to see you. What’s the point of a hot girlfriend if I can’t?” he smirked playfully as he tugged her hand more to pull her toward him. ”Why don’t you just lay here with me and stop trying to fix everything.”

Irina smiled a little as he grabbed her hand and complained about not being able to see her. "Well when her incredibly handsome boyfriend isn't feeling his best, she wants to help in his recovery," she retorted back. She sat down on the couch and cozied up to him, making sure the cloth was still on his forehead. Slowly, she leaned in and kissed him, just a gentle touch on the lips, before pulling back a bit. "Is this better?" she asked softly, moving her arm so that her fingers could run through his hair. She rested her head in the crook of his neck and sighed. "I will always try to fix you when you're broken; you are my other half, if you break then I'm a little broken too," she whispered, closing her eyes. Softly, she began humming a song that her grandmother used to sing to the four Krums when they were little. @daniel ooc: this song and this gif I am not even a little sorry <3

Well, he couldn't deny that she did well turning the tables on him with that retort. Still, he didn't make her feel accomplished by warranting a response. She did what he asked and cozied up next to him and he put his arm around her, pulling her close. He nodded as she asked if that was better and wrapped his other arm around her waist as she played with his hair. Her next words, about being a little broken too, made his heart ache and throb in his chest. It was one of those moments that reminded him why he loved her so much. One of those moments that made his heart ache with that love.
"I don't want to break you," he whispered back, tightening his grip around her even more. She started to hum a song and he closed his eyes, leaning his head back against the couch. "What's that song?"

Irina didn't say anything to his breaking comment, but draped her other arm across his chest while she continued to hum. Part of her didn't even realize she was doing it; she used to sing it to her sister over the summer if she woke up from a nightmare about the kidnappings since their grandmother hadn't been around and she supposed she just got used to it. She stopped though when he asked her what the song was. "It's an old lullaby my grandmother used to sing to me - I sang it to Tania over the summer when she'd wake up in the middle of an anxiety attack. It's soothing and a little bit whimsical, so it was perfect." She cleared her throat before she began to softly sing.
"Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, Lavender's green When you are king, dilly dilly, I shall be queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly, Who told you so? 'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, That told me so
Call up your men, dilly dilly, Set them to work. Some to the plow, dilly dilly, Some to the fork.
Some to make hay, dilly dilly, Some to cut corn. While you and I, dilly dilly, Keep ourselves warm.
Lavender's green, dilly dilly, Lavender's blue. If you love me, dilly dilly, I will love you.
Let the birds sing, dilly dilly, Let the lambs play. We shall be safe, dilly dilly, Out of harms way.
I love to dance, dilly dilly, I love to sing. When I am Queen, dilly dilly, You'll be my King.
Who told me so, dilly dilly, Who told me so? I told myself, dilly dilly, I told me so."

Dan just laid there, un-moving and silent at first as she started to sing. It was a beautiful song and he felt... a little bit like he'd heard it before. Either way, he didn't realize that more tears were coming from his eyes until the on song was almost over. He didn't move to stop them, though. Instead he just opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling and kept his arms tightly wrapped around her. His own emotions were mixed with hers, and he found a comfort in just laying there. Still, he felt sick and sad, his entire body ached as if his muscles were rebelling against him just as much as his mind was.
When the song ended he sighed, turning his head to look at the wall instead of at the ceiling. "Sing it again," he asked in a whisper. Though, he didn't really phrase it like a question.

Irina nodded against his chest. "Always," she said, before taking a breath and starting the lullaby over again. She sang it once more, her voice slowly getting softer and softer as her eyes closed, but soon they flew open as she sat up with a gasp. She blinked rapidly, then turned to face Dan. "I just had a vision, a good one, at least I think it was," she said, her tone wonderous. She'd been singing the lullaby but instead of to Dan it was to a baby cooing in her arms. She had dark hair and vivid blue eyes, just like Dan. She was sitting with the child in a rocking chair, gently tracing a finger across her chubby little cheeks before planting a soft kiss on her forehead. She'd felt that powerful love she felt for Dan with this child, as if she'd die protecting her if she had to. "I was singing the song to a baby.....a little girl," she said, feeling her eyes prick with tears. They were not sad ones though, not quite elatedly happy either, but it felt right.

Dan was starting to feel sleepy this time, which was nice. He nestled into the couch even more and his eyes started to close... that was before he felt a spike of shock come from her and she gasped. She told him immediately what that was all about and he waited for an explanation, but his heart rate had sped up with worry. There was something else coming from Irina, too. A love that he didn't understand. It wasn't the same as theirs was... it was... oh. He figured it out right before she said it, that she was singing to a baby girl. He swallowed hard, moving his arm from around her waist in order to place his hand on her cheek. He nodded, gently stroking just under her eye with his thumb. "Yeah. I guess I kind of see her too," he whispered. Feeling Irinas emotions toward this non existent (yet) child was enough for him to figure it out.

Irina placed her free hand on his and gave him a small smile. "I know it's not what you want to hear right now, but I knew you'd be asking the minute I sat up," she explained, slightly sheepish. "My visions aren't always for the immediate future, there have been some that haven't even come to pass yet. Really small ones like, graduating from Hogwarts, running through what I think was an Egyptian tomb, that sort of thing." She was blabbering on a little bit she knew, but she didn't want to seem like she was putting any pressure on him for their future, especially when he was so low and vulnerable like this. In reality, they had only been dating a short while, though Irina now felt like it had been forever, and she couldn't imagine life without him by her side. She lay back down and put her head on his chest. "What did you mean, you can sort of see her?" she asked him after a moment, resting her chin so she was looking up at him.
